Who was Francisco Reséndez? Meet the voice behind Scooby-Doo who died at 85

Francisco Reséndez, the Mexican voice actor and dubbing director best known to generations of Spanish-speaking viewers as one of the voices of Scooby-Doo, has died at the age of 85. Reséndez died on September 2, 2026, while news of his death was publicly confirmed a day later by people from the dubbing community. The cause of death has not been disclosed.

For many viewers across Latin America, Reséndez was more than a name in the credits. His voice became part of childhood memories, particularly through his work on several Scooby-Doo productions. He was also involved in some of the biggest Spanish-language dubbing projects in television and anime.
