Early life and career

Blanc is the son of voice actor Mel Blanc, and throughout Noel's childhood and early adulthood, he worked with his father on the Looney Tunes voices so that when the time came, he could take over for his father.[1] Following his father's death, Noel voiced Elmer Fudd, The Tasmanian Devil, Porky Pig and other characters in Tiny Toon Adventures and Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story. But even before then, it was revealed years later - by Mel Blanc himself - that Noel had ghosted for him for several cartoons during his time of recovery from the 1961 car accident, and he even made a recording studio in Pacific Palisades.[2]

Blanc also appeared in the television booth during the 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 400 due to a promotion with Looney Tunes at Richmond International Raceway in 2001 and 2002. Noel did his Bugs Bunny voice, lamenting that he did not get to start the race at all.[3] He retired from voice acting in 2006. He spends much of his time residing in his father's waterside cabin at Big Bear Lake, California.

Blanc has been married three times; he first married Larraine Lax in 1967, they divorced in 1972. Blanc then married actress Martha Smith in 1977, the marriage lasted for nine years until they divorced in 1986. In 1998, Blanc married his third wife Katherine Hushaw, they were married at the Warner Bros. Studios on June 3, 1998.[4][5]
