“You were and are an extraordinary ambassador and caretaker of these iconic characters and the legacy of Mel Blanc.”

"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, the post reads. "More details to come."

According to CBS, Bauza won three Children's and Family Emmy Awards (in 2022, 2023, and 2025) and was nominated for multiple Daytime Emmy Awards.

"You showed us what was possible when a fan’s love for something can become a life’s work," he wrote. "You made it feel possible to go from being the kid who grew up inspired by these characters to becoming the person entrusted with bringing them to life at the highest level."

"Thank you, Eric, for the inspiration, the representation, and for showing us what was possible."

"He’s so talented and gifted in a way that seemed otherworldly to pull so many different types of energy and joy out of one body was truly astounding to me. Even more so was his kindness and openness to helping others including myself."
