Melvin Jerome Blanc (May 30, 1908 - July 10, 1989) was a prolific American voice actor. Although he began his nearly six-decade-long career performing in radio and television commercials, Blanc is best known for his work with Warner Brothers during the Golden Age of American animation (and later for Hanna-Barbera television productions) as the voice of such iconic characters as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester the Cat, Tweety Bird, Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, Barney Rubble, Mr. Spacely, and hundreds of others. Having earned the nickname "The Man of a Thousand Voices," Blanc is regarded as one of the most gifted and influential persons in his field.
