Antonio Munoz

Antonio Munoz was born and raised in Guatemala City. He started racing motor-cross when he was only eleven years old. During the third year of racing, he suffered a major accident, leaving him with major facial fractures and the loss of taste and smell. Never resigned to be the victim of any circumstance, he continued racing after the accident,which he did professionally for twenty years and held the National Champion title not once but three times. He has since been driven to appreciate the tastes and textures in all aspects of life and the human condition. After another unfortunate accident, he was forced to put his love for motor cross racing on the back burner, while he moved onto go-kart racing as well as industrials for The Discovery Channel. He has trained with Ron Burrus at his studio in LA; with James Cutts at the SFAA and Beau Bonneau in San Francisco; and continues training his craft in Los Angeles. In addition to his bilingual skills, Antonio is multi-ethnic, which allows him to portray a wide array of ethnic types and he enjoys the subtle but very vivid differences in dialects and accents. Always a well-traveled individual, Antonio has had a multi-cultural exposure during his formative international motor-cross platform, which has nurtured in him the ability to observe and internalize idiosyncrasies, behavior, accents and dialects and to invest these into bringing his characters to life with enormous conviction.
