Early life

In his childhood, Bergen would often spend hours watching and taping cartoons, imitating voices as well as creating characters of his own. He once told his parents that he wanted to voice Porky Pig, to which his mother objected.

As a teenager in 1978, he phoned Mel Blanc after researching in phone books, crashed a recording session pretending to be Blanc's assistant, and watched him in action. Upon the realization that he needed training and for his voice to change, he began studying voice-over with coaches in Los Angeles. He took acting lessons with Daws Butler at his weekly voice-over workshop. In March 1980, Bergen appeared as a contestant on a Teen Week episode of Wheel of Fortune, winning prizes including a watch. After two years at a Meisner acting conservatory and three years of improv study with The Groundlings, he was able to secure an agent at age 18 and pursue his dream, while working as a tour guide at Universal Studios to make ends meet.
