Carlos Alazraqui represents the rare performer whose career became more ambitious with every decade — 28 years in, and Carlos is still choosing the harder script.
The essay
Our editors on the work, the patterns and the reason this body of work holds together.
Carlos Alazraqui appears in 58 films in the Nutevio catalogue, and none of them would work the same way without Carlos. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is the clearest case: a film rated 8.3 by our editors, where the performance carries weight the script only implies.
The recognisable elements are versatility, transformation, comedy. Watch two of these films back to back and the method separates from the material — the same instrument, tuned differently for science fiction, comedy, adventure. It is a style built on what is withheld as much as what is played.
Working with Daniel Chong, Aaron Horvath, Pierre Coffin and others, Carlos Alazraqui 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.

A quieter influence — felt inside the films rather than across the industry.
How far the work travelled past the people who saw it first.
What survives once the release-week conversation has burned off.
Institutional acknowledgement, weighted but never decisive.
Years of chosen, relevant work rather than years merely employed.
Statuettes, read as evidence rather than verdict.
Roles named without needing the film named alongside them.
Directors who wrote parts because this performer existed.
The reading other performers now have to answer.

The defining work
#1
Additional Voices (voice)
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026)
Performance score8.0
The performance the rest of the career is read through. Additional Voices (voice) gives Carlos Alazraqui a structure to work against, and the film hands over its centre of gravity without hesitation.
View movie#2
Additional Voices (voice)
Hoppers (2026)
Performance score7.8
Hoppers asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Additional Voices (voice) is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.

Larry (voice)
Scooby-Doo! Shaggy's Showdown (2017)
Performance score7.8
Scooby-Doo! Shaggy's Showdown asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Larry (voice) is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.

Best entry point
as Additional Voices (voice)
Start here. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is the clearest statement of what Carlos Alazraqui does — accessible, 98 minutes, and rated 8.3 by our editors. No context required.
Our editors order this path by accessibility first and chronology second. You meet Carlos 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.
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (2013)
Keeps the animation register of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie but asks for a colder reading of it.
Inside Out (2015)
Keeps the animation register of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns but asks for a colder reading of it.
Scooby-Doo! Shaggy's Showdown (2017)
Keeps the comedy register of Inside Out but asks for a colder reading of it.
Hoppers (2026)
Keeps the comedy register of Scooby-Doo! Shaggy's Showdown but asks for a colder reading of it.

Categories of our own
Six editorial categories we apply to every performer we cover.
Most rewatchable
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
as Hernando / TV Host (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
The Book of Life
as General Posada / Dali / Chuy (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
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
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
Pixels
as Tattoo (voice) (uncredited)
Work that makes everyone else in the frame better without ever pulling the camera towards itself.
Career defining performance
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
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. Carlos Alazraqui has known it for a long time.”

28 years of relevant work — not merely a long career, but a long career of choices.

Our desk
Best ending, best opening, best twist and the rest — categories we apply to everyone we cover.
Best ending
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
as Additional Voices (voice)
The last five minutes reorganise everything before them, and hold up when you already know what's coming.
Best opening
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
as Hernando / TV Host (voice)
A first sequence that states the rules of the film without explaining a single one of them.
Most emotional
Charming
as King Beauty / Cranky Dwarf / Frazelli The Baker (voice)
The film where the technique steps aside and lets the feeling arrive undefended.
Best twist
Scooby-Doo! Shaggy's Showdown
as Larry (voice)
A reversal earned by information the film gave you and trusted you to misread.
Best visual achievement
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
as Hernando / TV Host (voice)
Images that would survive with the sound switched off.
Best action sequence
Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
as Bane (voice)
Geography, stakes and consequence held in the same frame — spectacle you can follow.
Best dialogue
Charming
as King Beauty / Cranky Dwarf / Frazelli The Baker (voice)
Lines written to be spoken, staged so the pauses do half the work.
Most underrated film
Minions & Monsters
as Additional Voices (voice)
The public vote sits below ours on this one, and the direction is the reason for the gap.
