Fountain of Gold

What did you say your name was?

Never mind. But while we both try to remember, let me raise a glass to your health in a lovely little restaurant in Naples (at the very same table where Giorgio Armani sat, though not wearing such a stylish bib as mine). What can I say in my defense? Only that my voice has been described as warm, classy, well-rounded, hilarious, smooth, sexy and "chocolatey" (mmm!!!) But before you start to laugh, as I did, please listen to my commercial for Solero Ice Cream.

     What else can I say? That my character range stretches from 12 years to 60+years, and I'm a very decent actor, with tons of experience on commercials, news, documentaries, product-placing and dubbing (I am the Master of Lip-Synch) as well as cartoons, radio drama and computer games.

     And that I have more than twenty years of experience as a DJ and Anchorman, and dozens of continental campaigns for Gillette, the BBC, HSBC, Johnnie Walker, Nickelodeon, United Artists, Kodak, Sauza Tequila, Oracle, Bacardi, Samsung and FIFA among many others.

     In English I have recorded very successful campaigns for the likes of Toyota, Old El Paso, Kellogg's, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, MinuteMaid and Firestone, to name a few. That's why I'm making a toast in Naples, and again in the Mediterranean splendour of Nice! Cheers--here's to the success of YOUR projects!

 

     PS: The name "Fountain of Gold" comes from a spontaneous comment that someone left on YouTube on seeing my Doritos commercial: "Who's the Spanish dude? He's amazing!!! HIS MOUTH IS A FOUNTAIN OF GOLD!!" (There is no doubt that there are still people with taste and discernment in this world).

Here follows another madcap commercial for Old El Paso, introducing a new salsa:
