Once you prove yourself, that you’re a utility player, they’re going to contact you and say, hey, yeah, we need you for a film next Thursday at Fox or Sony or whatever. You kind of get a reputation.

BOB BERGENI studied voiceover, and I studied acting and I got my first series and my first agent a week out of high school.
BOB BERGENI’ve been doing Porky Pig for 21 years for Warner Brothers.
BOB BERGENDespite the fact that wanted to voice aclassic character, a majority of my day-to-day is not Porky Pig.
BOB BERGENAll characters have a voice but not all voices have character. And it’s all about character and personality.
BOB BERGENFortunately, we have writers who very much respect the classic characters and the integrity of the classic characters, that are also terrific comedy writers and are able to put these classic characters in new and interesting, and quite funny situations for today.
BOB BERGENI will tell you that the ego in me would love to play the lead. I would have loved to have been Buzz Lightyear, or Woody in “Toy Story,” “Toy Story 2” but they hire celebrities for that, well-known people.
BOB BERGENWould I like to play the lead? You bet. Absolutely. But I get to have fun and I don’t have to shave when I go to work.
BOB BERGENSo everytime I’m asked to do it – and nine out of ten “Looney Tunes” shows ends with Porky coming out saying “That’s all folks” – I’ll say to them, which one do you want?
BOB BERGENThe voice is just one part of what you bring to the character.
BOB BERGENAnd it took me about five years of hit-or-miss auditioning and booking on occasion before I could support myself totally as an actor.
BOB BERGENI feel kind of fortunate that over the last 25 years I’ve been in almost every Disney/Pixar film.
BOB BERGENYou’re Jewish! I don’t think she realized what I wanted to do with the pig…I didn’t want to eat him, I wanted to voice him.
BOB BERGENMost people who go into show business want to go into show business.
BOB BERGENI love cooking and I love traveling and I love finding new places to eat and new cuisines to eat. Don’t be shocked if you see me munching down on a baby back rib.
BOB BERGENI love pork. I love a good BLT. I know that sounds horrible but I do. I’m a total foodie.
