He provided the voices of various characters forDisney(Black Peteand theBig Bad WolfinThree Little Pigsand its spin-offs),MGM(Spike the Bulldogand in some occasions even Tom, inTom and Jerry), andWarner Bros.(many characters, most notably the Papa Bear ofChuck Jones'The Three BearsafterMel Blanchad performed the role in the initial entry). He appeared opposite Blanc inLittle Red Riding Rabbit, where he played another famous wolf.
