H2: Beloved voice actor dies at 38

Mexican actor and voice artist Alexis Ortega died in late January 2026. Multiple outlets report his death occurred on January 24; news broke publicly on January 26. Ortega was 38. His family has not released an official cause of death, and colleagues and fans have asked for privacy while they grieve.

H2: Roles that defined a generation

Ortega began his professional career in 2013. He rose quickly in the dubbing world after voicing Tadashi Hamada in Disney’s Big Hero 6. That role introduced his warm, youthful tone to broad audiences across Latin America.

His most high-profile role was voicing Peter Parker / Spider-Man (Tom Holland) in the Latin American Spanish versions of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He first appeared as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War and continued through Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers: Infinity War. For many Spanish-speaking viewers, Ortega’s voice became the definitive sound of Spider-Man: balancing humor, vulnerability and heroism.

H3: Beyond superheroes — animation, TV and digital

Ortega also lent his voice to animated hits including Finding Dory and Cars 3. He worked across genres, delivering both comic energy and emotional nuance. His resume included live-action television work as well, notably a role in Luis Miguel: The Series where he played a young Jorge “El Burro” Van Rankin.

Recently Ortega embraced digital platforms, contributing to Spanish-language content connected to major YouTube channels. That crossover highlighted his versatility and his appeal to younger, online audiences.

H2: Industry reaction and tributes

The ALDA Awards—an organization focused on excellence in anime dubbing—issued a public statement mourning Ortega’s passing and sending condolences to his family and colleagues. Fans, fellow actors and industry professionals flooded social media with clips of Ortega’s performances and personal memories of the characters he voiced.

Colleagues noted how voice actors in Latin America do more than translate dialogue: they shape how international characters are received and loved. Ortega’s Spider-Man became a cultural reference point for a generation of Spanish-speaking fans.

H3: Family privacy, legacy of the work

At the time of reporting, Ortega’s representatives and family had not provided further details about his death. Out of respect, many fans and media outlets are refraining from speculation and focusing on celebrating his career.

Alexis Ortega’s voice helped bring global stories closer to Latin American audiences. Though he died young, the characters he gave life to—Spider-Man, Tadashi and many others—ensure his performances will continue to be heard and remembered.
