Bob BergenVOICE ACTOR

Voice actor Bob Bergen visited student at New York Film Academy’s Los Angeles campus in November 2011 for a Q&A following a screening of “Space Jam.” When he was five years old, he told his mother he wanted to be the voice of Porky Pig.

He trained as an actor, and studied improv for 3 years – training he called absolutely invaluable for any actor.

He has voiced numerous Looney Toons characters in countless feature films, television shows, albums, toys, and games. He currently stars as Porky Pig in Cartoon Network’s The Looney Tunes Show.
