Joe Alaskey, "Rugrats" Voice Actor, Passes Away

Joe Alaskey, a prolific voice actor known for portraying iconic cartoon characters, sadly died of cancer on Wednesday 3rd February 2016. He was 63.

Best known to Nickelodeon fans as the voice of Grandpa Lou Pickles on Nickelodeon's iconic original animated series "Rugrats" and it's spin-off, "All Grown Up!" between 1997-2008, Joe also voiced Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and other beloved "Looney Tunes" characters.

His death was confirmed by Trish Alaskey, his niece and former personal assistant.

The Troy, New York, native, was a master impressionist who began with bit roles on television sitcoms. But his first major voice acting role came in 1988's "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," playing Yosemite Sam and Foghorn Leghorn, according to his official website.

After legendary voice actor and comedian Mel Blanc died in 1989, Alaskey became a go-to voice for various Warner Bros. projects involving the "Looney Tunes" characters.


Joe Alaskey voiced Grandpa Lou Pickles on Nickelodeon's "Rugrats" and "All Grown Up!" between 1997-2008

He was also the second actor to play Grandpa Lou Pickles on the animated Nickelodeon show, "Rugrats," following the death of David Doyle on February 26, 1997, and was the main voice for Plucky Duck on "Tiny Toon Adventures."

In 2004, he took home a Daytime Emmy for voicing Daffy Duck in the series "Duck Dodgers." Five years later, he released an autobiography, "That's Still Not All Folks!!"

Joe's voice could also be heard in many other television series, including Nickelodeon's "My Life as a Teenage Robot", "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and "Hey Arnold!", as well as "Extreme Ghostbusters", "Duckman", "Where's Waldo?" and "Back to the Future", and the Nickelodeon video game "SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab". Joe could also sometimes be seen in front of the camera, including a cameo on the sitcom "Nurses".

He most recently narrated the television documentary series "Murder Comes to Town," which aired on the Investigation Discovery Network.

In an interview with Splitsider.com in 2012, Alaskey said pinning down the Bugs Bunny voice was one of the hardest things he had to perfect - particularly because of Blanc.

"He was such a good actor, and he made such an impression with his delivery," Alaskey said. "There was also the matter of the accents, the Brooklyn and the Bronx mixed together. It's very tricky, but I eventually got it down."

"Sending a Turtle into space is a brilliant way to highlight both the new series and the fantastic new line from GP Flair. The success of Turtles products has been metaphorically stratospheric since launch so it is only fitting that we finally get around to literally putting a Turtle into space. My vote is for Mikey," said Marianne James, VP, Consumer Products UK & Ireland & European Retail Sales & Marketing, Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products.

Series four of Nickelodeon's hit animated show premieres at 7:30am on Saturday 6th February 2016 on Nicktoons.

"Fans will be able to vote from all four Dimension X Turtles that are available in our new spring 2016 collection which is already available in toy stores," said Anne-Marie Noon, Boys' Marketing Manager, GP Flair. "They come complete with everything they would need for a stellar adventure including space helmets, gravity belts and of course weapons adapted for their new galactic surroundings. The question will be which of them will be chosen for the challenge; I too like Mikey, but it's Leo that gets my vote!"

Sneak-Peek: Josh Peck And Drake Bell Reunite On Brand-New "Grandfathered" Episode, Premiering 2/9 On Fox

Hug me, Brotha -- the Drake & Josh boys are back together!

To celebrate Drake Bell joining his Nickelodeon co-star, Josh Peck, on the hit Fox comedy, Grandfathered, ET have unveiled a exclusive sneak peek of their awesomely awkward reunion, which you can watch here on etonline.com!


On Tuesday's all-new episode, "The Biter", Bell guest stars as Kirk, a flashy tech investor whom Gerald (Peck) and Vanessa (Christina Milian) are desperate to meet so they can pitch their new app idea. However, after meeting the materialistic mogul, it's clear that Kirk is... well, he's kind of a jerk.

Even though Kirk and Gerald might not get along on Grandfathered, Peck and Bell still have an amazing off-screen friendship. In fact, when ET chatted with Peck last year, the 29-year-old actor revealed that Bell was at the very top of his Grandfathered guest star wish list!


"I feel like our next guest star has got to be Drake Bell!" Peck pitched.

When asked if his Drake & Josh brother would be up for the gig, the star was quick with his reply: "He'd better do it!," Peck laughed. "I'll just text him and be like, 'Just keep the next six months open for me, will ya?' I mean, I would love it and if he was available and into it, nothing would make me happier."

Catch the Drake & Josh reunion on Grandfathered on Tuesday, Feb. 9 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on Fox!
