Mel Blanc was an American voice actor, comedian, singer, radio personality, and recording artist who was best known for his voice work with Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera, DiC Entertainment, Walter Lantz Productions, and radio work on The Jack Benny Program and The Hoot Owls.

For Disney, he provided the voice of Gideon in Pinocchio. However, when it was decided that Gideon would be mute, Blanc's lines were cut from the final film, except for three hiccups.

At one point, he was considered to voice Dopey in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs by Walt Disney.

Additionally, he provided the voice of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit for a brief period in 1957.[1]

In Who Framed Roger Rabbit, he reprised the voices of several of his classic Warner Bros. characters except for Yosemite Sam, whom he refused to voice due to always being rough on his throat (the role went to Joe Alaskey instead, as a result).
