Description
Jordi Estadella was a Spanish voice actor and broadcaster with a career spanning over four decades, recognized for his extensive work in dubbing for film and television, including animation and anime series. Born Jorge Estadella Gracia on November 11, 1948, in Barcelona, Spain, he began his professional career in 1970 at Radio Juventud de Barcelona before transitioning to voice acting in 1977. He was also widely known to the Spanish public as a television host, most notably for the game show Un, dos, tres... responda otra vez from 1991 to 1993.

In the realm of anime and animation, Estadella contributed his voice to various series dubbed into Spanish and Catalan.
