* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' - La Sombra in "Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie" (2017)

English character actor who began his career mostly typecast into "foreigner" roles due to his Spanish and Italian heritage. Nevertheless, Molina has carved out a career spanning more than three decades on stage and in film. His turn as ComicBook/DoctorOctopus in ''Film/SpiderMan2'' was arguably his biggest mainstream breakout, but before that he had racked up a steady array of memorable performances: in ''Film/{{Frida}}'' as legendary Mexican painter Diego Rivera, ''Film/BoogieNights'' as Rahad Jackson, ''Film/PrickUpYourEars'' as Kenneth Halliwell, Boris the Butcher in ''Film/TheManWhoKnewTooLittle'', ''WesternAnimation/DudleyDoRight'' as Snidely Whiplash and even his debut film performance in ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' as Satipo, Indy's treacherous assistant at the beginning.

* DyeingForYourArt: Willing to change his physique for roles. However, it can be taxing, and he was really annoyed when he had to lose a lot of weight for ''Spider-Man 2'' only to have to gain it all again for ''Theatre/FiddlerOnTheRoof''.

* FakeNationality: He is one of the reigning kings of this trope in Hollywood, along with perhaps Creator/BenKingsley and Creator/ErickAvari.

* RealLife/MeanCharacterNiceActor: By all accounts a modest and funny gentleman who can also be called upon to play abusive husbands, resentful murderous lovers, comic book villains, and characters who are simply crazy.
* PlaysGreatEthnics:
-->"I'm very proud of the fact that I can play all these different nationalities. I've done it with varying degrees of success, but at least with the best of intentions. I think at some point you run the danger of becoming everyone's favorite foreigner."
* TypeCasting: Often as foreigners and/or villains, which he's noted but does not mind. He feels he's suited to these parts.
-->"I've been acting now for over 30 years... certainly you get a better idea of what suits you or what you think is within your capabilities. I mean, if someone sent me the part of a 30-year-old romantic lead I'd have to say, 'I'm sorry, and that's very sweet of you, but let me play his dad.'"
