Here is legendary voice and radio personality Mel Blanc from the 1983-84 syndicated version of This Is Your Life, hosted by Joseph Campanella with special guest Chuck Jones. Sorry for the technical difficulties at times.

Mel kept asking the casting director for an audition and the casting director kept telling him we have enough voices. After over a year of asking the casting director, the casting director died and the new guy finally gave him a chance and the rest is history.

Mel Blanc wasn't Elmer Fudd til after Arthur Q Bryan passed away. (Especially during the 1970s to 1989.) Though Mel did rarely filled in at times.

TheFashiongirl23 No, in exchange for no raise Leon Schlesinger who was the producer of the Looney Tunes shorts back then gave him on screen credit even if Mel himself didn't voice the character. Like with Elmer. Again there was a few times in the original shorts that Mel did do some lines as Elmer. For example the Smog line from What's Opera Doc. Or if he had few lines. But it was an actor named Arthur Q Bryan who was Elmer's voice during most of the original shorts. The specials on the otherhand, yes that was Mel. But not the original shorts with few exemptions. Even Hal Smith and Dave Berry did Elmer in three combined shorts. With Hal voicing Elmer after Arthur's death. Berry filled in for one short while Arthur was still alive.
@stephenholloway68936 жыл бұрын
TheFashiongirl23 I already said why. Mel got an exclusive contract at Warner Brothers and exchange for not giving him a raise Schlesinger gave him solo voice credit instead. There's even of clip of Arthur on You Tube using Elmer"s voice.
