Joe Alaskey, the voice behind some of the most beloved cartoon characters including Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, and Tweety Bird, has died after a battle with cancer. He was 63 year old.

In the late 1980s, he was one of the successors to the late cartoon pioneer Mel Blanc, who was known as “The Man of 1,000 voices”.

Daffy Duck proved to be one of Alaskey’s best characters and in 2004, the New York-born actor won an Emmy for his performance on Cartoon Network’s Duck Dodgers.

Apart from playing Looney Tune characters, he also lent his talent to other roles, playing the voice of Richard Nixon in the Oscar-winning “Forrest Gump” and Jackie Gleason in “King of the World”.

His prolific decades-long career included voicing Grandpa Lou Pickles on “Rugrats”, inheriting the role after David Doyle’s death in 1997. He also voiced the character again in the Rugrats spinoff series, “All Grown Up!”, along with all 3 films.

Mark Evanier, a television writer who knew Alaskey, paid tribute to the comic actor in a blog, describing him as a man who learned at an early age that “he could overcome great shyness by becoming someone else”.

Evanier said that he often invited Alaskey to take part in panel discussions and had worked with him, and the biggest challenge was figuring out which voice he should impersonate.

“The one I liked best was when he sounded like Joe Alaskey. He had a long, long list of voices but that’s the one I will miss most,” Evanier wrote.
