His life story is one of perseverance. At first, Warner Bros would not even let him audition. He had to wait for the guy in charge to die before he got his foot in the door. He kept working, even from a hospital bed, with nearly every bone in his body broken. He spent his spare time doing his characters for kids in burn units and hospitals. A great method actor and comedian, he helped define the cartoon medium as we know it. He was a major fixture in the golden age of radio. A lot of modern sarcastic comics owe him a huge debt.
