Joseph "Joe" Tapley Dougherty, a trailblazing American voice actor, made a lasting impact on the world of animation by initially portraying the iconic Warner Brothers' character, Porky Pig, in the 1935 cartoon short "I Haven't Got a Hat". This significant milestone marked the start of a remarkable tenure that would continue until 1937, with "Porky's Romance" serving as the final curtain call for Dougherty's time in the role of the beloved character.
Mel Blanc's successor, Jeff Bergman, did not have the same lasting impact on the character of Porky Pig as Dougherty did, despite his own impressive vocal talents.
