Career

Following Paul Frees' death in 1986, Bergman portrayed the Pillsbury Doughboy from 1986 to 2013. In 1986, Bergman's career with Warner Bros. began with recording voices for The Bugs Bunny Show. He made a tape of himself as several of Blanc's characters, including Bugs Bunny after being rejected several times by Warner Bros.'s producers. He took the tape to the production company and switched back and forth between his job and the original Mel Blanc recording. Edward Bleier, then-Warner Bros. president, was unable to tell the difference between the voices and Bergman at the age of 29, and he became the first performer to perform Bugs Bunny after Mel Blanc died on July 10, 1989 – Bergman's 29th birthday.

Bugs Bunny was the first film to win the Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film at the 62nd Academy Awards. During the 1990 TV specials Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue and The Earth Day Special (also voicing Tweety Bird and Porky Pig in the latter). In the animated sequences of Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990), he lent his voice to Bugs, Daffy, and Porky. In 1991 theatrical short Box-Office Bunny, Bugs' first in over 25 years, Bergman appeared Bugs and Daffy again as well as Elmer Fuddd.

In Jetsons: The Movie (1990), Bergman also voiced George Jetson and Mr. Spacely; while his previous voice actors George O'Hanlon and Mel Blanc died during recording; he had been working at his local radio station in Pennsylvania when he was called to California to complete the interview. In the theme park attraction The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera, George Jetson also spoke to him. Bergman decided not to continue voicing the Looney Tunes until the mid-1990s due to his reluctance against relocating to Los Angeles. Larry Blanc, Joe Alaskey (who was the first person to replace Blanc in Who Framed Roger Rabbit in 1988), Greg Burson, Bob Bergen, Billy West, and Blanc's son Noel Blanc were all living in Pittsburgh at the time.

Bergman continued to perform various Hanna-Barbera characters, notably Fred Flintstone, in newer films such as The Flintstones, only understudied the voices of the Looney Tunes in times when Alaskey and West were not available.

Eric Bauza plays Bugs, Daffy, and Tweety for the Looney Tunes Cartoons; he also voices some characters in Looney Tunes Cartoons, as well as Peter Bergman, who plays Foghorn, Sylvester, and Elmer Fudd.
