为兔八哥(Bugs Bunny)与达菲鸭(Daffy Duck)等乐一通(Looney Tunes)经典角色配音的加拿大裔配音演员 Eric Bauza 突然离世,年仅46岁。其家人10月25日晚通过他的 Instagram 账号发表声明证实死讯;洛杉矶县法医记录显示,其死因为高血压性心血管疾病。
家人在声明中写道:艾美奖得主、乐一通经典角色兔八哥与达菲鸭的现代配音者 Eric Bauza,连同数十个深受喜爱的卡通角色的声音,「已经突然离我们而去,更多细节稍后公布」。消息传出后,动画界人士与粉丝纷纷留言悼念。导演 Jorge Gutierrez 说他「让每一部参与的作品都变得更好,是一代人里难得的天才」;配音演员 Carlos Alazraqui 说自己「震惊到不敢相信这是真的」。Bauza 10月24日还在 Instagram 转发与《空中大灌篮》30周年相关的乐一通短片,是他最后的公开动态。
Bauza 1979年12月7日出生于加拿大多伦多,父母是菲律宾移民。2001年他以《The Ripping Friends》出道,2003年在《Ren & Stimpy》成人版中接过 Stimpy 一角崭露头角,25年间累积了400多部作品的配音记录。他最为人熟知的身份是这一代的「乐一通之声」:自2011年起陆续接下火星人马文、兔八哥、达菲鸭、猪小弟、崔弟、埃尔默·法德、雾角公鸡、啄木鸟伍迪的对手角色等几乎全部乐一通男性角色,被许多评论者称为继 Mel Blanc 之后最全面的乐一通配音者。
他曾三度获得儿童与家庭艾美奖(《乐一通卡通》《兔八哥建筑师》《少年泰坦出击》)。银幕作品包括2021年的《空中大灌篮:新传奇》、2024年的《乐一通大电影:地球爆炸之日》(一人分饰达菲鸭与猪小弟两大主角),以及今年上映的《Coyote vs. Acme》(一人分饰多角);此外他还为梦工厂的《穿靴子的猫》电视版、尼克儿童频道的《忍者神龟:崛起》中的斯普林特、《布偶婴儿》中的福滋熊等角色配音。
Eric Bauza, the Modern Voice of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, Dies Suddenly at 46
Eric Bauza, the Emmy Award-winning voice actor who became the modern voice of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and dozens of other Looney Tunes characters, has died suddenly at 46. His family announced his death in a statement posted to his Instagram account on Sunday night, October 25; Los Angeles County Medical Examiner records list the cause of death as hypertensive cardiovascular disease.
"Eric Bauza, Emmy Award-winning voice actor and the modern voice of iconic Looney Tunes characters Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, along with dozens of other beloved cartoon characters, has passed away suddenly. More details to come," the family statement read. Tributes poured in from the animation community: director Jorge Gutierrez called him "a generational talent" who "just made everything he worked on better," and fellow voice actor Carlos Alazraqui wrote, "I am in shock. This doesn't feel real." On October 24, Bauza had reposted a Looney Tunes clip tied to the 30th anniversary of Space Jam — his last public post.
Born in Toronto on December 7, 1979, to Filipino parents, Bauza debuted in The Ripping Friends in 2001 and broke through voicing Stimpy in the 2003 Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon," amassing more than 400 credits over 25 years. He became best known as the voice of a generation of Looney Tunes: beginning with Marvin the Martian in 2011, he went on to voice Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety Bird, Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn, Sylvester, Yosemite Sam and more — leading many to call him the most complete Looney Tunes voice since Mel Blanc.
Bauza won three Children's & Family Emmy Awards, for Looney Tunes Cartoons, Bugs Bunny Builders and Teen Titans Go! His film work included Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021), The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024), in which he played both Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, and this year's Coyote vs. Acme, in which he voiced multiple roles. He also voiced Puss in Boots in the DreamWorks animated series, Splinter in Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Fozzie Bear in Muppet Babies.
