Born in Mexico City to a Mexican father and a Chilean mother, Christian's mixed Latino ancestry traces back in part to the rural village of Lanz in Navarra, Spain which still bears his family's name. The Lanz family settled in Campeche, Mexico in the late 1600's, with subsequent generations migrating west to Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz and to the country's capital.Christian spent over 16 years living throughout Mexico and Latin America before becoming a naturalized U.S. Citizen, eventually migrating to Hollywood and becoming one of the industry's most prolific bilingual voice actors. Equally proficient and accent-free in both English and his native Spanish, Christian Lanz accurately represents the voice of the new cross-cultural U.S. media market.An eight-time Voice Arts Award winner and thirty-two-time nominee with several thousand commercials, promos, and movie trailers to his credit in both English and Spanish, Christian is a veteran voiceover announcer in addition to his work in animation and video games. He's a TV Academy member and serves since 2015 as the live announcer for the network telecasts of The Daytime Emmy Awards, The LA Emmy Awards, The Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, The Children's and Family Emmys, The TV Land Awards, The American Cinematheque Awards, and Hallmark Channel's Hero Dog Awards.For his elementary and high school education, Christian attended The Mirman School in Los Angeles along with fellow actor Masi Oka, followed by The Oakwood School in North Hollywood, CA. After graduating high school, he worked as a ranch hand in the mountains of southern Chile for a year before attending college and architecture school at the renowned Universidad Iberoamericana (Mexico City) from 1995 until graduating in 2000. While attending architecture school, Christian worked as a translator, English teacher and certified personal trainer. He was nominated for the prestigious "Premio Pani" Architectural Award in 2001 for his work in green/sustainable architectural design.As a young immigrant, Christian first learned to speak English at the age of six by watching legendary voice actor Frank Welker as "Fred" in the original "Scooby Doo" animated television series. 30 years later, he would have the privilege of working alongside his childhood idol Welker on Cartoon Network's "Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated" TV series after joining the cast in the show's second season, along with appearances in several other "Scooby-Doo" series and films thereafter.Christian has also lent his voice to a variety of characters on some of the most popular animated TV shows and video games, perhaps most notably as the vain and scheming "Chancellor Esteban" on Disney's Emmy-winning "Elena of Avalor", iconic Batman villain "Two-Face/Harvey Dent" in the "LEGO Batman : Family Matters" movie, the ruthless "Xever" (and his mutant alter-ego "Fishface") on Nickelodeon's hit "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series, and as "Puss in Boots" for DreamWorksTV, a role which earned Lanz his first of two consecutive Voice Arts Award for Best TV Animation Voiceover in 2016.In his spare time, Christian enjoys playing guitar at his home recording studio, snowboarding, photography, and working on home improvement and design projects.
