Humberto Velez

Humberto Velez is probably the most recognized Mexican Voice Actor, in part thanks to his distinctive voice and having voiced Homer Simpson for the Latin American dub of The Simpsons, until he and the rest of the contracted actors were fired for disagreements over payment and exchanged by voices that deeply displease the fandom. (Except one or two who returned from the original early seasons, but talking too much about it would generate a Flame War).

With over 20 years in the trade, he currently dedicates himself teaching the art of dubbing to younger actors interested on pursuiting this career and asisting conventions, when he's not doing the odd secondary voice on Disney Channel. Also, he had his breakout to the American cinema in Fast Food Nation.

Besides his work on The Simpsons, he's the official voice of Winnie the Pooh (yes, he noticed the irony) pretty much the offical voice of Nathan Lane and Danny Devito in Spanish and has dubbed Steve Buscemi and James Gandolfini a couple of times. If your character is a wisecracking Jaded Washout, an arrogant jerkass or a fat obnoxious Bumbling Dad there is a big chance he would dub it.

Some of his notable roles include:
 * Homer Simpson, renamed Homero in the dub of The Simpsons.
 * The first voice of Peter Griffith in Family Guy.
 * It's still his voice in the opening credits, though.
 * Al Bundy in Married With Children (Seeing a patter here?).
 * Tony Soprano in The Sopranos.
 * Lord Farquaad in Shrek.
 * Max Bialystock in The Producers.
 * Danny Devito's characters in Big Fish and Matilda.
 * Gomez Addams in both movies of The Addams Family.
 * Gibbs in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
 * Winnie the Pooh in, well, everything related to it since the 90's: cartoons, songs, toys. He has mentioned in conventions the irony of voicing two good-for-nothing yellow fatties, one giving him fame and the other one giving him money.
 * Professor Fansworth and Kiff in Futurama, amusingly enough, his wife voiced Amy even before something was hinted among those two characters.
