Rogers provided the original voice of Beaky Buzzard in Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid (1942) and The Bashful Buzzard (1945). Sadly, he was killed in an aircraft crash during World War II, shortly after completing voicework for The Bashful Buzzard.

Stan Freberg and Mel Blanc replaced Rogers as the voice of Beaky Buzzard, though the character's appearances were limited after Roger's death.
