If it counts to someone that's dead, Chuck Jones. He's brilliant, when it comes to animation or being an author. If it's to someone whos, alive, then it would be Tom Kenny. My favorite modern voice actor.

Random Questions of the Week
Animators sometimes put hidden images or messages in their works. Remember the Jessica Rabbit and Aladdin rumors? Any others you can think of? Ever done it yourself?
Universal’s Curious George has been garnering positive reviews, but do you think its 2D animation will hurt its chances of box office success? Do you consider this the last stand for traditional feature animation in the U.S.?
While most people agree that Revenge of the Sith is better than the last two Star Wars installments, it hasn’t won over all critics. What is your opinion of the digital animation and the film in general? Was Cartoon Network’s animated Clone Wars better?
