Bio

Greg Burson was given the responsibility of voicing Bugs in 1995's "Carrotblanca", a well-received 8-minute "Looney Tunes" cartoon originally shown in cinemas alongside "The Amazing Panda Adventure" (US) and "The Pebble and the Penguin" (non-US); it has since been released on video packaged with older "Looney Tunes" cartoons and was even included in the special edition DVD release of "Casablanca", of which it is both a parody and an homage. Burson next voiced Bugs in the fy|1996 short "From Hare to Eternity"; the film is notable for being dedicated to the memory of the then-just deceased Friz Freleng, and for being the final "Looney Tunes" cartoon that Chuck Jones directed. Greg Burson also provided Bugs' voice in "The Bugs and Daffy Show", which ran on Cartoon Network from 1996 to 1999.

He also voiced Yogi Bear and many other characters in Hanna-Barbera-related shows.
