Eric Bauza Voices Bugs Bunny and More Looney Tunes Greats
'We all want to be like Bugs, but we're all really Daffy,' said the voice actor Eric Bauza with a hearty laugh during a recent interview in Los Angeles. For the past five years, the Canadian performer, 45, has played both the clever rabbit and the hyperactive duck. He has won two Children's & Family Emmy Awards for voicing these pair, as well as other characters, in the series 'Looney Tunes Cartoons' and 'Bugs Bunny Builders.' Video transcript 'Eh ... What's up, doc?' Eh ... What's up, doc? 'Eh ... What's up, doc?' Over the years he's also summoned Sylvester, Tweety, Foghorn Leghorn and Elmer Fudd. In the director Peter Browngardt's 'The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie' (in theaters March 14), Bauza voices both Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. Distributed by Ketchup Entertainment, the first fully-animated original feature starring these characters to get a theatrical release is a zany, hand drawn, sci-fi romp in which buddies Daffy and Porky must defeat a malicious alien invader. Sitting in a meeting room at the Garland Hotel in North Hollywood, and wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with Wilma Flintstone (Hanna-Barbera's 'The Flintstones' is among his favorite classic cartoons), Bauza recalled first watching 'Looney Tunes' on Saturday mornings growing up in Scarborough, Ontario. The wacky violence and daring humor of those cartoons enticed a young Bauza. As he recounted one of his favorite 'Looney Tunes' shorts, 'Long-Haired Hare,' in which Bugs Bunny torments an opera singer, Bauza seamlessly shifted into singing in the voice of the famed animated wise guy, 'Music hater and a rabbit hater too, apparently,' he recited.
