    Its crazy seeing this video from 1982, and hearing the host say that even back then, most adults grew up with the voice of this man. I grew up with the voice of this man and I was born in '93. Really puts into perspective how many generations he inspired.

    He was literally one in a million. I read that during WW2, in addition to all his cartoon work for both Warner and Universal, he starred on 18 radio shows - every week. It's impossible to think anyone would have that kind of work ethic today.

    When I was a kid I imitated a lot of people and of course all the cartoons. Only years later I paid attention to the credits and realized that it was one man doing all the voices 😮🤯 Mel Blanc was my inspiration to do voices and after years of working as an audio engineer, I got my chance to audition and then voiced several projects including Arthur, Little Lulu, Ripley's Believe it or Not and whole bunch of random voices in radio and tv ads. Thank you Mel for being my mentor ... Rest in Peace 🙏 💖

    2:28 Mel Blanc didn't actually go to a pig farm, and he wasn't the first Porky Pig voice actor. The first Porky Pig voice actor was Joe Dougherty, someone who actually spoke with a stutter. But it took a long time to record dialogue due to his speech impediment, so they replaced them with Mel Blanc, who kept the stutter.
