"...Greg Burson has been arrested by detectives after barricading himself inside his Los Angeles home for six hours. The 54-year-old cartoon actor - who provides the voices for children's favorites Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Yogi Bear - screamed a stream of nonsensical words at cops who were alerted to his home after two women rang them claiming he was holding his roommate against her will. Armed Special Weapons And Tactics teams joined the stand-off which eventually ended when a seemingly inebriated Burson surrendered following hours of negotiations. Cops later discovered a collection of guns in his home. One officer says, "He was so drunk we couldn't tell if he was trying to do one of his voices or was just slurring his words." Officer Rudy Villarreal has confirmed all three women involved in the incident - who were unharmed - lived with Burson..."

I wondered what caused him to do that, probably being drunk or something worse. I thought the title of this thread was most amusing and funny though. Burson was such a loose cannon waiting to go off, good thing no one was harmed or even killed.

Yeah, except it wasn't Bob Bergen who voices Porky. Smile

Still, that was amusing anyway.

He's like the B-List Bugs Bunny. Joe Alaskey is the voice of Bugs in anything Warner cares a lot about.

Wow... let's hope that doesn't happen to Richard Hayworth, Steve Blum, Lex Lang, Johnny Yong Bosch, Sparky Thornton, or anyone else we know and love.

Except for this guy... http://animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=6289

I hope this happens to him... He's a bastard. Evil or Very Mad

Why do I get the mental image of Steve Blum holding a bottle of Jack Daniels, yelling at the cops:

"Vicious?! YOU THINK I'M VICIOUS?!?!?!"
