Geektown BTS Podcast 32: Legendary Voice Actor Jeff Bergman Interview - Our Cartoon President, Bugs Bunny, Yogi Bear, Fred Flintstone & Many More!
10/31/20 • 31 min
This episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes Podcast features possibly my favourite interview so far this year - legendary voice actor, Jeff Bergman.
Whilst you might not know his name off the top of your head, you have definitely heard his voice before. Jeff became the first voice actor to perform the voices of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester, and many other Looney Tunes characters after original voice, Mel Blanc, passed away. He also voices iconic Hanna Barbera characters such as Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble, George Jetson and Mr. Spacely, and is currently lending his vocal talent to the loveable Yogi Bear, Ranger Smith and many others in the new HBO Max series 'Jellystone!'.
If all that wasn't enough, his other current project sees him voice both Trump and Biden, along with a multitude of other characters for the hilarious Showtime series 'Our Cartoon President', which is currently airing Saturday nights at 9pm on Sky Comedy in the UK.
In the interview, we chat about his work on 'Our Cartoon President', Loony Tunes, Hanna Barbera, and a meeting the legendary Mel Blanc who set him on his career path as a voice actor. We also discuss his work on the Batman '66 animated movies with Adam West and Burt Ward, and he, of course, provides us with a host of spectacular voices!
