Eric Bauza, Bugs Bunny Voice Actor, Dies at 46
Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck were among the familiar characters brought to life by Eric Bauza, whose death TODAY reports in a short bulletin. Citing the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, the report says the voice actor died from cardiovascular disease at 46.
TODAY describes an Emmy-winning performer whose work extended to dozens of cartoon characters, including several Looney Tunes voices in "Coyote vs. Acme." That film is also a recurring subject in the comments, where viewers remember his involvement and thank him for his work on it.
The upload has drawn more than 35,000 views before its first full day, well beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts. The response reaches beyond Bugs and Daffy: some viewers also remember Bauza through characters from "The Fairly OddParents" and "Breadwinners," recalling the different shows through which they encountered his voice.
