I feel bad for the actor he's based on (whose name escapes me atm), since I heard he's a good guy;;

There's always been some debate over whether Pepe's based on Maurice Chevalier or Charles Boyer. Both actors had to deal with way more traumatic stuff in their lives than whether or not a pervy cartoon skunk was based on them. (Also, Boyer played the husband in Gaslight. I don't think he worried much about being affiliated with problematic fictional characters.)

According to Wikipedia, Chuck Jones, Pepé's creator, wrote that Pepé was based (loosely) on the personality of his Termite Terrace colleague, writer Tedd Pierce, a self-styled "ladies' man" who reportedly always assumed that his infatuations were reciprocated. Pepé's voice, provided by Mel Blanc, was based on Charles Boyer's Pépé le Moko from Algiers (1938), a remake of the 1937 French film Pépé le Moko. There have been theories that Pepé was based on Maurice Chevalier. However, in the short film, Chuck Jones: Memories of Childhood, Jones says Pepé was actually based on himself, but that he was very shy with girls, and Pepé obviously was not.

No fair. Chuck voted twice, and neither time was for a French guy.
