I had the great fortune of meeting Mel Blanc when I was a front desk clerk at a hotel he stayed at back in the late ‘70’s. Very unassuming and polite man. If I remember correctly he could come and go as he pleased and nobody really noticed him. But I knew who he was and was thrilled to have him stay with us. As a kid I couldn’t wait for the cartoon characters he voiced on Saturday mornings.

Every interview is the same. Wish someone would have asked about his childhood. Where he grew up. How he came about doing voices. What other jobs has he had. Does his family get tired of it. Have there been any regrets in his career. But no. It's always the same. "Who's your favorite voice?" "What was your first voice"? This one is at least a little better.
