Before Eric Bauza went on to win Emmys for his voice-acting work as the modern voice of Bugs Bunny and other Looney Tunes characters, he was a Canadian animator living in the United States. The CBC caught up with him in 2021 while in Los Angeles, after he first got the news that he'd be voicing the iconic cartoon rabbit. Bauza died on Oct. 25 at the age of 46 from hypertensive cardiovascular disease, according to a report from the L.A. County medical examiner. #bugsbunny #looneytunes #entertainment #throwback #retro »»» Subscribe to CBC News to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/1RreYWS For breaking news, video, audio and in-depth coverage: https://www.cbc.ca/news Follow CBC News on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cbcnews Subscribe to CBC News on Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3leaWsr Subscribe to CBC News on WhatsApp: https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb6MSjH9Bb63S9tbQa1Y Download the CBC News app for iOS: http://apple.co/25mpsUz Download the CBC News app for Android: http://bit.ly/1XxuozZ »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» For more than 80 years, CBC News has been the source Canadians turn to, to keep them informed about their communities, their country and their world.
