Eric Bauza, the award-winning voice actor known for bringing iconic Looney Tunes characters to life, has died aged 46.

His family announced his sudden death in a statement shared on Instagram. According to Variety, Bauza died at home on Sunday, with hypertensive cardiovascular disease reported as the cause.

The Canadian-born performer voiced several beloved cartoon characters, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd. He also portrayed Foghorn Leghorn and Road Runner, continuing a legacy associated with the late voice actor Mel Blanc.

Bauza featured in the 2021 animated film Space Jam: A New Legacy and voiced characters in this year’s Coyote vs Acme. His other film credits included playing Toad General in 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie and its sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. He also appeared in the recent release, Forgotten Island.

His talent earned him three Emmy Awards for outstanding voice performance between 2022 and 2025.

In a 2021 interview with NBC News, Bauza recalled growing up in Ontario as a devoted Looney Tunes fan. Of Filipino descent, he said he began imitating the characters’ voices as a child.

He described the franchise as a source of humour that crossed cultural and linguistic boundaries.

Warner Bros. Television Group and US Networks chairman Channing Dungey paid tribute to the actor, praising his ability to bring laughter to audiences worldwide.

Dungey said Bauza regarded continuing the Looney Tunes legacy as one of the greatest honours of his life.

May Bad News, Never Happen To You.....

Rip man. You have played your part.

RIP man. Death is inevitable. It can happen to anyone at any time.

RIP bunny . Rest on

Eeya the time was up.

Oooooo, so young. Don't play with your general wellbeing. Rip

Chai ! So sad. May his soul rest in peace. Amen

Death! The least controlled among life's variables. Well done legend. Although you left too soon, but, you've left your footprint on the sands of time.

I don't know him.

But what do you mean "suddenly"?

RIP

This can not be the bugs bunny voice over character I know.

I know the name from watching cartoons. I’m shocked he was under fifty years of age. Goodbye, hero. You will be missed.

May his soul rest in peace.

But he is young...just 46? I used to watch Bugs and Daffy tonight on cartoon network as a preeteen, and I'm around his age. Does it mean he started doing voice overs as a preeteen in the early 90s?

But bugs bunny is older than that even if he was voice as a kid.

I thought Mel Blanc played both Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny?

What ever you do don't get fat.Being fat is an increased risk factor to many chronic diseases and this explains why many Nigerians, both the ones living here and those abroad don't live long.Life expectancy of Nigerians abroad is also low like us here.Most are overweight but they say it's a normal body.Our women are the worst hit, because many don't understand how to loose weight and end up dying relatively young.Most men have big belly, another health hazard.

This cartoon don tey. Watched it as a kid.

Made me to remember ed, edd, eddy too.

This guy that just died might be the 30th voice artist for it.

Might actually be cos Loonley Toons started way back in the 1940's.

For a minute I thought it was one of the old greats.

Never heard of this fellow. I only know Mel Blanc

The one you're probably used to is Mel Blanc

And Foghorn Leghorn, Le Pew, Porky Pig, the Tasmanian Devil, Sebastian, Tweety etc. The man was a one-man voice squad. One of America's greatest voice artist.

Your caption is very misleading.. the real bugs bunny voice actor mel blanc died almost 40yrs ago. This one is just the new generation voice actor

Correct. Is like you're also a user bunny fan.

That man is something else. Too many personalities

Mel Blanc died in 1989. Eric Bauza has been the voice of various Looney Toons characters since 2020.
