Peter Fernandez (born 29 January 1927) is an American actor, voice actor, director, and film crew person from the United States with extensive experience in screenwriting, production, and voice and dialogue direction. Despite a vast and varied career in entertainment extending from the late 1930s to the present day[update], Fernandez is perhaps best known for his uncredited roles of both the title character, and Rex Racer/Racer X in the 1967 anime dub of Speed Racer (which he also co-wrote; he was also the voice director for the series). Peter, among others, in his capacity as a voice-actor, writer, and producer, was instrumental in introducing many anime series to Anglophonic audiences.[1] He was the voice director for Courage the Cowardly Dog, which he has been quoted as saying is his favorite job so far. He also has made cameos credited as "additional characters" in a number of episodes, along with a notable role as the voice of Robot Randy.
He was the voice director for Robert Mandell's Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers series.
Peter had a cameo in the 2008 film Speed Racer as a racing announcer. He is also currently the voice of Spritle in the 2008 animated spinoff, Speed Racer: The Next Generation, and the original Speed Racer, as seen in the episode, "The Note".
