Voice actor Jesús Barreda (Cat Noir) dies at age 60

He was known for his voices as Cat Noir in "LadyBug", Panda in "Somos Osos", Capheus in "Sense8" and Carlos in "The Crown".

 

This Friday we knew the sad news of the death of dubbing actor Jesús Barreda. They have been his colleagues from Adoma (Union of Dubbing Artists of Madrid) incharge of communicating his death and the first condolences.

"Comrades, with all the pain of our heart we have to inform you that our beloved Jesus Barreda has died. All our love to his family and friends. Always in our hearts and in that of the characters you gave life to. Rest in peace 🌹." With these words his colleagues said goodbye to the dubbing actor who for more than 25 years has put the Spanish voice to countless voices of series and video games.

Perhaps his best-known work was the voice of Cat Noir in the French animated series "LadyBug". But his professional work extends to many more areas and was the voice of Eddie Redmayne in "The fate of Jupiter", "Lego Dimensions", the series of "The pillars of the Earth", "The Crown" (as Carlos) or the miniseries "Tess, that of the d'Urberville".

"Quantum", "Glee", "Scandal", "Shameless" or "Rugrats", are among his hundreds of works in television, but he stood out notoriously in the world of video games. Among the titles he voiced are "Quake 4", "Doom 3", 'Borderlands', 'Resident Evil' or "Gears of War". Fans of his work did not hesitate to comment on their social networks their passion for his work: "One of the most unforgettable voices of this country, eternal youth made voice ... Characters like Peter Parker, Pops, Panda or Chat Noir had a great personality in Spain for being their soul behind a lectern. Thank you for everything, Jesus, we will miss you so much."

Among the condolences is that of Thomas Astruc, the creator of the "LadyBug" series: "I am devastated to learn that @BarredaJesus is no longer with us. I had the privilege of meeting him in Seville years ago. Cat Noir loses one of his best voices, and the world a super sweet guy. Rest in peace, friend."

On November 10, 2022, he confirmed the worst of the news: "The worst news...... But we're going to start the fight against cancer next week. A Barreda does not give up so easily. And we will continue to work, of course."
