Mel Blanc
Next up......
HUH? What's that you ask? When did Mel Blanc ever play a magician? Well, Mel did the voice for (and so in essence "played") the character of Ala Bahma the world renowned magician with the (I've always thought) Hungarian accent in the 1942 cartoon short "Case of the Missing Hare", and also of course as well doing the voice for the world renowned rabbit with the combination Bronx/Brooklyn accent and who Mr. Ala Bahma encounters during this cartoon short. THAT'S when...
