Eric Bauza, actor who voiced Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and other cartoon characters, dies at 46

Eric Bauza's visit to CBS LA Mornings to discuss "Coyote vs. Acme" has become part of the station's remembrance of him. The brief report returns to that appearance, filmed two months earlier, as it announces the death of the actor behind Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and other cartoon voices.

CBS LA cites an Instagram post from Bauza's family. His manager, Judy Coppage, also released a statement remembering his versatility and the affection of people who knew and worked with him.

The report reached about 300,000 views in less than a day, far beyond the station's usual audience for a Short. In the comments, viewers repeatedly compare Bauza to Mel Blanc, linking his work to an earlier generation of Looney Tunes voices. One aspiring voice actor recalls hoping to share a recording booth with him someday.

The station's archival footage offers a more direct remembrance: Bauza himself, visiting to talk about the characters and the film he helped bring to life.
