Miguel Ángel Jenner (born June 2, 1952) is a distinctive voice actor among the Spanish voice industry thanks to, among other works, voicing most of Samuel L. Jackson's entire mothafucking career (save for Star Wars). He also voices most of Jean Reno and Ving Rhames' works. Jenner is known for his deep and husky voice, making a perfect candidate for Baritone of Strength characters, is quite fluent in French (he lived in France many years, so he's quite prolific dubbing characters who are supposed to have a French accent) as well and does many of his singing roles. He occasionally makes live action acting in some Spanish productions.
He had also directed and adapted many dubs. Among these directed dubs, Pulp Fiction, Life Is Beautiful and The Lord of the Rings trilogy are his most well known and applauded works. Jenner is a Promoted Fanboy of J. R. R. Tolkien's books and when he was given the task of supervising the dub — with Peter Jackson's blessing no less —, he accepted with enthusiasm. In the dub he also voiced Gimli.
His children, David and Michelle, are voice actors who made successful careers too. Michelle made herself a name as a live action actress, though she still does dubs.

Tropes Associated with Miguel Ángel Jenner
- Cunning Linguist: Miguel Ángel Jenner is fluent in French, which makes him avert the Maurice Chevalier Accent. So good at it that Jenner dubs the French dialogue, e.g. such as The Da Vinci Code.
- Playing Against Type: For someone mainly known for voicing Baritone of Strength types, it's surprising to see among his list of roles characters that don't fit that mold such as Pumbaa or Lumière.
