Mel Blanc was a prolific American voice actor, actor, radio comedian, and recording artist who is best known for his voice work with Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera, Walter Lantz Productions and radio work on The Jack Benny Show and The Hoot Owls.

For Disney, he provided the voice of Gideon in Pinocchio. However, when it was decided that Gideon would be mute, Mel'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.

Mel also provided the voice of Cousin Orville in the Carousel of Progress attraction. While the attraction has been updated with new voice actors over the years, Blanc's recordings are still used in the attraction.

In Who Framed Roger Rabbit, he reprised the voices of several of his classic Warner Bros. characters.
