Gregg Berger is NOT Dead

I'm normally a very tolerant and all-around nice guy, and don't take
this personally at all - I realize how easily it would be to be taken in
on something like this, especially when IMDb is often looked to as a
completely accurate source of information.
But the reports of Gregg Berger's death are, in a word (and please
forgive my language): bullshit.
The IMDb entry is some sick mind's idea of a practical joke:
http://us.imdb.com/Name?Berger,+Gregg
If Gregg Berger indeed died on July 5th, then it was his ghost who was
on the "Cartoon Voices" panel I attended at the San Diego Comic Con and
got to chat with afterwards (including getting his autograph and a
picture taken with him), which was LESS THAN 10 DAYS AGO on July 22.
What's even more sad is I just posted here in this very forum in the
last week saying that I'd met Robert Skir and Gregg Berger at the Con,
and offered full details on the experience.
Here's the thread, and if the link doesn't work properly, e-mail me and
I'll forward you a copy:

Heck, I'll even scan his autograph and the pictures for you if you need
proof, but for God and Gregg's sake, stop spreading this garbage now.

Just to comment on your non-Gregg Berger...comments:
As a fellow Comic Con attendee, I'm ticked that I didn't get to
see either Bill Farmer or Rob Paulsen. I *knew* I shoulda gone
to that panel...! But I did get to see Maurice LaMarche at the
Futurama panel (and John DiMaggio, voice of Bender, who was also
a surprise attendee)

Movie Database also has a number of Greg Berg's credits listed for
him. Greg Berg and Gregg Berger are two separate voice people.
Berg, for instance, was in TOY STORY and on MUPPET BABIES. But they
have both those shows down for Berger.

Yeah, what the heck. Not only is he not dead if he's still voicing Kay on
MiB, he has "additional voice" credits in a number of recent shows. How dead
couild he have been since voicing his latest work?

Berger was in. He was that clerk near the end who said that Balki's
handwriting was wacked, right? He sure didn't look like he was born in 1925.
Was his birthdate on the IMDB another joke?

He also appears as Cornfed in the live-action episode of Duckman. So I
agree: there's no way he's 75.

And of course there are the two Robert C.Bruces..(the one born in 1887 who was
a film maker or somethign and TEHN there's the WB voice guy).And this also
confusion from the ImdB, too.

ME: Greg Berg has been on dozens of episodes of THE SIMPSONS, often
without credit.
>And is Greg Burson ever cionfused with these two? :)
ME: Constantly.

ABSOLUTELY! I read somewhere that Gregg Berger did Bugs Bunny's voice in
Animaniacs, when it was actually Greg Burson.
