My Take
Carlos Alazraqui is proof that a voice can be more famous than a face. Born in Yonkers in 1962 and a Sacramento State graduate, he built a career as a stand-up and voice actor whose work you have absolutely heard without knowing it: the Taco Bell chihuahua, Rocko, Spyro, Denzel Crocker. An Annie Award winner, he is a craftsman who pours full personalities into characters while staying invisible himself. I deeply respect performers who choose the work over the spotlight, breathing life into hundreds of roles. That kind of anonymous virtuosity is its own quiet art, and he is a master of it.
