Bob Bergen, the voice behind Looney Tunes' Porky Pig, on bringing home the bacon, and why after 28 years, he still has to audition
Generations of children across the world have grown up with the 'Looney Tunes' world that made popular characters like Bugs Bunny, Tweety Bird, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig household names. Porky Pig, especially, has become an iconic character and continues to live on even after being supplanted by other characters. Porky's signature line: "Th-th-th-that's all folks!" at the end of many episodes is what he is best known for.
That brings us to the voice behind Porkey, Bob Bergen, who has been on the job for almost 28 years! "I'm doing a new series now called 'Looney Tunes' cartoons and they still made me audition for it! Even after 28 years, I still have to audition from time to time. I love the fact that the show is relevant even now and the cartoons are getting visibility these days."
