A cheerful, well-dressed gentleman in glasses and a classic hat poses at golden hour by elegant palm trees and a sparkling fountain, evoking the animated charm of Daffy Duck during Joe Alaskey’s era—a scene reminiscent of vintage Hollywood evenings at Universal Studios.

We’re sad to report that Emmy award-winning voice actor, Joe Alaskey, has passed away at age 63.

Alaskey voiced Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, and several other characters since he took over for the late Mel Blanc in 1989. He won an Emmy in 2004 for voicing Daffy Duck in the series Duck Dodgers, and even voiced Grandpa Pickles in Nickelodeon’s hit show, Rugrats.

His family announced his death on February 3rd.
