Is someone else now providing Garfield's voice in current commercials with him? Because in a recent one, for the LitterMaid Litter Box System, it sounds like someone else is voicing him since Lorenzo passed away. Is it his son? Because you know Mel Blanc's son Noel has provided voices of LT characters since Mel's death.

Did anyone notice that in another Garfield commercial for Compound W that he is silent in it?

I haven't seen it yet, but I'll look out for it.

Hope this helps!

Someone else is definitely playing the voice of Garfied. I have no idea who though.

And is it me, or is that commercial always fuzzy-looking?

Don't know, Jenny! LOL

BTW, aside from a few specials and a couple of "Tiny Toons" episodes (usually as Porky Pig), Noel Blanc has not provided the voices of the Warner Bros. characters. Although Mel Blanc did hope that his son would take over the voices, Noel has chosen to take his career in a different direction, focusing on some behind-the-scenes projects with Warner Bros. (I've also read that Warner Bros. passed him over when recasting the voices, because he didn't sound enough like his father.)

Instead, Jeff Bergman was Blanc's immediate successor, doing most of the voices of the "classic" characters on "Tiny Toons", and also in the few theatrical shorts Warners released in the early 90s. Since then, no one actor has served as all the voices -- instead, the vocal chores have been split up among different actors, including Billy West, Joe Alaskey, Bob Bergen, and Greg Burson, along with others.
