Joe Dougherty

Joseph Tapley Dougherty (November 4, 1898 – April 19, 1978)[1] was an American actor and voice actor, who provided the original voice of the Warner Bros. animation character, Porky Pig, starting with the character's debut in I Haven't Got a Hat in 1935 through Porky's Romance in 1937. Treg Brown pitched changed his voice for Porky. Due to his stutter, Count Cutelli was brought for additional lines due to the length of the audio and budgetary issues. After that, Mel Blanc took over the role and voiced Porky for 52 years. Dougherty spoke with a natural stutter which became one of the character's trademarks; Dougherty's inability to control his stutter was a factor in the part being recast.[2][3]

Partial filmography
gollark: You can add them to home screens and such these days.
gollark: I don't see why you wouldn't want it as a web application.
gollark: So I could have a page `Bee` on bees saying```Bee bee bee apioform, but bees and apioforms are only strongly correlated - they are not, as widely believed, identical.```and a page `Bee density` saying```Bee density is the density of bees. [[some include syntax goes here:Bee]]```and it'd include the `Bee` page.
gollark: It means including the contents of a page in another page.
gollark: I am probably not actually adding a scripting language, but I *am* ideally doing transclusion at some point, structured data, and an export button.
