ABSTRACT
The closest regular actors could come with a cartoon character is voice characterization. There is even one cartoon character that was solely built around a voice. It was Donald Duck's personality that was created by the quack of Clarence Charles Nash. Nash introduced himself to cartoon director Wilfred Jackson as bird imitator. Clarence Nash said that the Duck's personality was the exact opposite of Mickey's. Mickey was basically a happy fellow, even tempered, and a good buddy. William 'Billy' Bletcher (1894-1979), a diminutive comedian with a big, very strong voice, became Peg Leg Pete and the Big Bad Wolf: In the old days there were not that many actors who would care to do cartoon voices. June Foray (born in 1917), a radio voice, created Lucifer for Disney's Cinderella as well as Rocky the Flying Squirrel, Granny, and Witch Hazel.
