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]

Death
Dougherty died on April 19, 1978 Los Angeles, California from a heart attack. He was 79 years old.[1]
