Trivia
His later career was hampered by acute alcoholism. His career was finished when he was arrested by detectives in May of 2004 after barricading himself inside his Los Angeles home for six hours before surrendering. Initial reports claim that a SWAT team had responded to a call from two of his female roommates that he was inebriated, armed and holding a third female roommate hostage. It was reported that he had been depressed over losing voiceover work.

Quotes
Yogi [Bear] came pretty quickly to me. But Bugs [Bunny] is much harder. To get Bugs right took me a year. -- GB, on his vocal characterizations
