Eric Bauza: The Voice of Bugs Bunny & ‘The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie’

You might not know Eric Bauza’s name or face, but you definitely know his voice. Scarbrough, Toronto-born, two-time Emmy winner joins us in the studio for the first time to talk about his latest film — ‘The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie’ — in which he plays both Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. But aside from that the Filipino-Canadian actor’s the first non-white actor to play Bugs Bunny, he’s also Marvin The Martian, Tweety, Woody the Woodpecker, and Jimmy Pesto Snr. in ‘Bob’s Burgers. On occasion subs in for Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots — uncanny — and that’s just a few of his credits.

In this conversation expect to hear Bauza talking in the guise of his most famous characters, as well as a bit of Marge, Homer, Paul Giamatti, and Luke Skywalker as a Lego character. He switches personalities faster than you can blink.

He lifts the lid on his craft, discussing his beginnings as an animation nerd, drawing cartoons, editing with scissors, and interning at Spümcø (the creators of ‘Ren & Stimpy’) before getting his big break. Plus, the genius of OG voice actor, Mel Blank, diversity in the industry, Bauza’s series ‘Stay Tooned’ where he looks at how cartoons both shape and reflect society, and much more.
