Christian Lanz

Received the 2018 Golden Trailer Award nomination for Best Voiceover for his work on the multicultural trailer campaign for Disney/Pixar's "Coco".

He's the only actor to win the Voice Arts Award for Outstanding TV Animation: Best Voiceover two years in a row. He won in 2016 for DreamWorksTV's "Epic Battles with Puss in Boots", and in 2017 for Disney's "Elena of Avalor" animated series.

He's a TV Academy member and serves since 2015 as the live announcer for the network telecasts of The Daytime Emmy Awards, The LA Emmy Awards, The TV Land Awards, The American Cinematheque Awards, and Hallmark Channel's Hero Dog Awards. For his elementary and high school education, Christian attended The Mirman School in Los Angeles along with fellow actor Masi Oka, followed by The Oakwood School in North Hollywood, CA.

He was nominated for the prestigious "Premio Pani" Architectural Award in 2001 for his work in green/sustainable architectural design. As a young immigrant, Lanz first learned to speak English at the age of six by watching legendary voice actor Frank Welker as "Fred" in the original "Scooby Doo" animated television series. 30 years later, Lanz would have the privilege of working alongside his childhood idol Welker on the new "Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated" television series after joining the cast in the show's second season, along with appearances in several other "Scooby-Doo" series and films thereafter.

After graduating high school, he worked as a ranch hand in the mountains of southern Chile for a year before attending college and architecture school at the renowned Universidad Iberoamericana (Mexico City) from 1995 until graduating in 2000. While attending architecture school, Christian worked as a translator, English teacher and certified personal trainer.

Born in Mexico City to a Mexican father and a Chilean mother, Christian's family origins trace back to the rural village of Lanz in Navarra, Spain which still bears his family's name. His ancestors settled in Campeche, Mexico in the late 1600's before migrating west to Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz and to the country's capital. Christian spent over 16 years living throughout Mexico and Latin America before becoming a naturalized U. S. Citizen, eventually migrating to Hollywood and becoming one of the industry's most prolific bilingual voice actors. Equally proficient and accent-free in both English and his native Spanish, Christian Lanz truly represents the voice of the new cross-cultural U. S. media market. A six-time Voice Arts Award winner and nineteen-time nominee with several thousand commercials, promos, and movie trailers to his credit in both English and Spanish, Lanz is a veteran voice actor and broadcast announcer with an extensive client list of leading global brands, TV networks, and film studios in addition to his work in animation and video games.
