Carlos Revilla

Carlos Revilla (22 January 1933 — 28 September 2000) was a Spanish voice actor best known for his role as Homer Simpson in the Spanish version of The Simpsons.

Born in Salamanca, Castile and León, Revilla left his medical studies at the age of 20 to become a radio actor on Cadena SER and later moved into dubbing of American films into Spanish. He dubbed the voices of actors such as Walter Matthau, Charlton Heston, Jack Lemmon and Bill Cosby, and was the voice of KITT on Knight Rider in Spain. He worked on the first eleven seasons of The Simpsons, directing the entire dubbing process in addition to voicing Homer. Revilla died of a heart attack in Madrid.[1][2]

Shortly before his death, Revilla's team were honoured by Fox Broadcasting Company, original creators of The Simpsons, who said that the Spanish dub of the show was the best in Europe.[3]
