Description
Luis Miguel Perez Ruiz is a Venezuelan singer and voice actor born in Caracas, Venezuela, who began his professional voice acting career in 1997. He is recognized for his extensive work dubbing characters in animated series, anime, and live-action television for Latin American audiences.
Perez is known for his versatility and has voiced a wide array of iconic characters. In anime, his roles include the robot Metabee in Medarot Damashii (the sequel to Medabots), Dr. Parche in The Super Milk-chan Show, and Charles III in Viewtiful Joe. He is particularly noted for portraying the character Optimus Prime across three interconnected anime series: Transformers: Armada, Transformers: Energon, and Transformers: Cybertron. His other notable anime credits include Paul Wan in GetBackers, Heymans Breda in both Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Arthur Hellsing in Hellsing, and Kiritsugu Emiya in Fate/stay night.
Beyond anime, Perez's voice acting work in Western animation is extensive. He is well-known as the voice of Cat in CatDog, Plankton in SpongeBob SquarePants (for several seasons), and Superman in Justice League and related animated series. He has also lent his voice to characters in series such as Danny Phantom, Winx Club, and The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers.
Perez has frequently collaborated with his wife, fellow voice actress Rebeca Aponte, and both worked extensively in the Venezuelan dubbing industry. In addition to acting, he is a professional musician, singer, and composer, having performed theme songs for various animated series. In late 2012, he temporarily retired from dubbing after relocating within Venezuela, but he returned to the profession in late 2014 after establishing a small dubbing studio in his new residence.
