Arthur Ortiz works on versatility rather than volume, and the catalogue keeps proving that the quieter choice was the correct one.
The essay
Our editors on the work, the patterns and the reason this body of work holds together.
Arthur Ortiz appears in 9 films in the Nutevio catalogue, and none of them would work the same way without Arthur. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the clearest case: a film rated 8.7 by our editors, where the performance carries weight the script only implies.
The recognisable elements are versatility, transformation, emotional range. Watch two of these films back to back and the method separates from the material — the same instrument, tuned differently for comedy, adventure, family. It is a style built on what is withheld as much as what is played.
Working with Pierre Perifel, Francisco Ruiz Velasco, Troy Quane and others, Arthur Ortiz helped set a standard other performers now audition against. Awards bodies have been slower than the work, which is usually the sign of a career built on choices rather than campaigns.

Best entry point
as Additional Voices (voice)
Start here. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the clearest statement of what Arthur Ortiz does — accessible, 117 minutes, and rated 8.7 by our editors. No context required.
Our editors order this path by accessibility first and chronology second. You meet Arthur at the most legible performance, then move forward in time so each film reads as a response to the one before it rather than a repetition of it.
Coco (2017)
Keeps the adventure register of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse but asks for a colder reading of it.
Spies in Disguise (2019)
Keeps the adventure register of Coco but asks for a colder reading of it.
Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans (2021)
Keeps the action register of Spies in Disguise but asks for a colder reading of it.
The Bad Guys 2 (2025)
Keeps the adventure register of Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans but asks for a colder reading of it.

Categories of our own
Six editorial categories we apply to every performer we cover.
Most rewatchable
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
as Additional Voices (voice)
The one that survives a fourth viewing. Nothing in the performance depends on surprise, which is why it keeps paying out.
Most emotional performance
Coco
as Additional Voices (voice)
Grief played at conversational volume. The film never asks the audience to cry; the performance simply makes it difficult not to.
Most influential performance
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
as Additional Voices (voice)
You can hear this reading in other actors' auditions a decade later — the surest measure of influence there is.
Best ensemble performance
Coco
as Additional Voices (voice)
Work that makes everyone else in the frame better without ever pulling the camera towards itself.
Career defining performance
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
as Additional Voices (voice)
If the career had to be argued in a single scene, our editors would pick one from this film and rest the case.
In their films' words
“You can build a whole film around a performer who knows when not to speak. Arthur Ortiz has known it for a long time.”

Ours alone
Recognitions handed out by this desk, on criteria no awards body uses.

Awarded
9 catalogue titles in animation, each one a reference point for the films that followed.
Our desk
Best ending, best opening, best twist and the rest — categories we apply to everyone we cover.
Best ending
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
as Additional Voices (voice)
The last five minutes reorganise everything before them, and hold up when you already know what's coming.
Best opening
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
as Additional Voices (voice)
A first sequence that states the rules of the film without explaining a single one of them.
Most emotional
Coco
as Additional Voices (voice)
The film where the technique steps aside and lets the feeling arrive undefended.
Best twist
The Book of Life
as Additional Voices (voice)
A reversal earned by information the film gave you and trusted you to misread.
Best visual achievement
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
as Additional Voices (voice)
Images that would survive with the sound switched off.
Best action sequence
Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans
as Additional Voices (voice)
Geography, stakes and consequence held in the same frame — spectacle you can follow.
Best dialogue
The Bad Guys 2
as Motorist / Macho Disco / Officiant / Prison Guard (voice)
Lines written to be spoken, staged so the pauses do half the work.
Most underrated film
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
as Additional Voices (voice)
The public vote sits below ours on this one, and the direction is the reason for the gap.
