    "Alaskey was one of the most celebrated successors of legendary voice actor Mel Blanc, who originated the voices of many of Warner Bros.’ beloved cartoon characters.

    Alaskey was one of Blanc’s only successors to work alongside the veteran voice performer before his death in 1989.

    Blanc voiced several of the Looney Tunes characters that appeared in the acclaimed 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, including Bugs, Daffy and Porky Pig. However, Blanc felt that Yosemite Sam’s famously gravelly voice would be too damaging to his throat, so Alaskey stepped in to lend his vocal skills to the character".
