Mexico City native Christian Lanz has lived and worked throughout Latin America and the United States, where he enjoyed a career as a licensed Architect for several years before migrating to Hollywood and becoming one of the industry's most prolific bilingual voiceover announcers and actors.A two-time Voice Arts Award winner and 5-time nominee with several thousand commercials, promos, and movie trailers to his credit in both English and Spanish, Lanz is a veteran voiceover professional and broadcast announcer with an extensive recurring client list of leading global brands, TV networks, and film studios in addition to his voice acting work in animation and video games. He has also served as the live announcer for the network telecasts of The Daytime Emmy Awards, The LA Emmy Awards, The TV Land Awards, The American Cinematheque Awards, and Hallmark Channel's Hero Dog Awards as well as appearing on camera as a spokesman and actor in dozens of national commercials and television projects.Years of living and working in such culturally diverse locations as Mexico City, Chile, Costa Rica, Colorado, and Los Angeles have provided the multicultural actor with the opportunity to hone his ear for dialects and accents, allowing him to cross over effortlessly between the general and Hispanic media markets for both voiceover as well as on-camera projects.Equally proficient and accent-free in both English and Spanish, as a young immigrant Lanz first learned to speak English at the age of six by watching legendary voice actor Frank Welker as "Fred" in the original "Scooby Doo" animated television series. 30 years later, Lanz would have the privilege of working alongside his childhood idol Welker on the new "Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated" television series after ing the cast in the show's second season, along with appearances in several other "Scooby-Doo" series and films thereafter.Lanz lends his voice to a variety of series regular and recurring characters on several animated TV shows, perhaps most notably as the vain and scheming "Chancellor Esteban" on Disney's "Elena of Avalor", the ruthless villain "Xever" (and his mutant alter-ego "Fishface") on Nickelodeon's massively successful "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series, and as "Puss in Boots" for DreamWorksTV's animated series, "Epic Cat Battles with Puss in Boots", a role which earned Lanz a 2016 Voice Arts Award for Best TV Animation Voiceover. Known for portraying suave Latino characters, Lanz often voice-doubles for actors Antonio Banderas, Ricardo Montalban, and "The Most Interesting Man in the World" in addition to voicing a varied assortment of characters on many blockbuster video game titles.Lanz's favorite pastimes include playing Blues guitar in his private recording studio, snowboarding, photography, and working on home improvement and design projects. A devoted automotive "gearhead" and lifelong aviation and motorsports enthusiast, he also enjoys taking road trips with his family, tuning performance cars, and spending the occasional weekend at the local racetrack.He resides with his wife and two sons in Los Angeles, CA.
