His deep, versatile voice has also brought to life characters in Western animation and live-action dubbing, where he is known as the regular Spanish voice for actors Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson, having voiced Nick Fury in several Marvel Cinematic Universe films.

Throughout his career, Vásquez has frequently collaborated with a consistent group of fellow voice actors.

He is also a trained psychologist, having pursued the degree in his adulthood to complement his artistic work.
