Who provides the English voice of Miguel in Pixar’s Coco?

The story behind the answer

Anthony Gonzalez provides the English voice of Miguel in Pixar’s Coco.

Gonzalez was a child actor when he was cast as Miguel Rivera, the aspiring musician whose journey drives the film. His performance combines spoken dialogue with singing, including Miguel’s performances of songs connected to the Rivera family and Ernesto de la Cruz.

Coco was Gonzalez’s major film debut, and the role brought him international recognition. The voice cast also includes Gael García Bernal as Héctor, Benjamin Bratt as Ernesto de la Cruz, and Alanna Ubach as Mamá Imelda. Because several cast members are prominent Latin American or Mexican American performers, viewers sometimes remember another actor’s name when identifying Miguel’s voice.

Gonzalez later appeared in live-action projects, but Miguel remains his best-known animated role. His performance is central to the film’s themes of family memory, artistic ambition, and cultural tradition.
