Rene Garcia
Description
René García is a renowned Mexican actor and voice actor, widely recognized as a leading figure in Latin American dubbing, particularly for his iconic portrayal of Vegeta in the Dragon Ball franchise. Born René Francisco García Miranda on March 12, 1970, in Mexico City, his career in the performing arts began at a young age. He started working in dubbing at the age of ten at the studio Procineas S.C.L., while also cultivating a strong foundation in theater, which he considers a vital part of his artistic training.
García's entry into the world of dubbing was fortuitous, and he learned the craft immersed in the industry. His extensive body of work spans anime, animated series, and live-action films, where he has become the official Spanish voice for several Hollywood actors, including Ben Affleck, Keanu Reeves, John Travolta, and Michael Keaton. Beyond voice work, he is an accomplished actor in television and film, with credits in Mexican productions such as La Impostora and La Doña, and has worked as a commercial and radio announcer.
In the realm of anime, García's career is defined by several landmark roles. He is the definitive voice of the Saiyan prince Vegeta in every installment of the Dragon Ball series in Latin America, from Dragon Ball Z to the recent films Dragon Ball Super: Broly and Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, a role that brought him international fame and a dedicated fan following. Another seminal role is that of Hyoga de Cisne (Cygnus Hyoga) in the classic series Saint Seiya (Los Caballeros del Zodiaco), including its Hades Chapter arcs. He also brought to life the energetic Hanamichi Sakuragi in Slam Dunk. His other notable anime credits include Kisame Hoshigaki in Naruto, Jedite and Rubeus in Sailor Moon, and Kizaru Borsalino in One Piece.
García's voice is equally iconic in Western animation. He was the first voice of Stewie Griffin in the initial seasons of Family Guy (Padre de Familia) and voiced Hermes Conrad in the early seasons of Futurama. He has also lent his voice to characters in The Simpsons and provided the voice for Batman in various animated projects.
His personal life is intertwined with the dubbing industry, having been married to fellow voice actresses Cristina Hernández and, currently, Kerygma Flores. His daughters, María García and Ananda García, have also followed in his footsteps as voice actors. In recent years, García has expanded his artistic reach beyond the recording booth. He co-created and hosted the YouTube show Desdoblados with fellow Dragon Ball voice actor Mario Castañeda and has pursued music, releasing his first single, Pez, in 2024. In 2025, he premiered his one-man stage show, Voces en mi cabeza, blending acting, storytelling about his career, and live music. Through decades of work, René García has become not just a voice, but a cherished figure for generations of animation fans across Latin America.
