Voiceover actor Mel Blanc was born on this day. Best known as the man behind the words of Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam, Porky Pig, Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety and Sylvester and almost every major (and minor) Looney Tunes character he also moved over to Hanna-Barbera's television efforts and voiced everyone from Barney Rubble and Captain Caveman to Secret Squirrel and Speed Buggy.



One of the few non-animated characters Mel Blanc voiced was the robot Twiki from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
