Bauza was surprised at how the Fathom Film Group production team and CBC were able to get so much in. It looked like Mickey Rooney from ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s.’“The voice was a little bit more sensationalized and stereotyped and, coincidentally, it was Mel Blanc doing that voice, who was also the voice of Bugs Bunny. So we have to be respectful of that.”Bauza is the sixth person to voice Bugs Bunny and the first person of colour. Previously, “Bugs Bunny was only voiced by old white men,” Bauza said, and he’s very thankful for the opportunity. Bauza wants “Stay Tooned,” which he feels is made for the adults in the room, to engage audiences and to start an open conversation.
