Using wit, wisdom and improvisation, the talented Baker makes the Looney Tunes gang come alive on the big screen. He has worked with Nickelodeon, Disney Television, Marvel Animation and Hanna Barbera. But life didn't start out as a comedy routine for Baker. A trained baritone singer who speaks fluent German, Baker attended CC on a Boettcher scholarship, graduating with a degree in philosophy.
Philosophy is just a series of puzzles or jokes, really.
Baker, who likes to read Nietzsche in original German in his free time, credits Harvey Rabbin as one of the first professors to ignite his enthusiasm for philosophy. Other mentors include Alexandra Vargo, Horst Richardson and Jim Malcolm. These professors were very influential. I could see that they were people who had built their lives around what they loved. That is the most important thing to glean from any education - to learn to do what you love to do.
