Jeff Bergman

Jeff Bergman (born April 17, 1953) is an American voice actor. As well as being the current voice of Flintstones Character Barney Rubble in Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles commercials, Bergman was Mel Blanc's replacement for Looney tunes characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, etc.

The story is told of how when Jeff was getting his start, he made a tape of himself doing several of Mel Blanc's characters, including Bugs Bunny. He then took the tape to the producers, and had thus rigged the tape player so that he could use a switch to instantly toggle back and forth between the original Mel recording, and his own recording of the same lines. When he did this, it was impossible for them to tell which was Jeff and which was Mel. Thus his vocal ability was established and his career was launched. One of the first times he voiced Looney Tunes characters (Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, to be more specific) was in Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue. After nearly a decade, he will voice both Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck again in Cartoon Network's upcoming series, The Looney Tunes Show.

Other voice roles by Bergman include:


 * Fred Flintstone, usually on Family Guy


 * Barney Rubble on current Post Cereal commercials


 * Yosemite Sam


 * George Jetson
