In the Hispanic community the dubbed voices of famous film actors are remembered better and became widely recognizable (e.g. the Spanish voice of Homer Simpson from The Simpsons (translated as "Homero"), performed by Humberto Vélez, is one of the most famous in Latin America).
These actors often become stars in the science fiction or subgenre fandoms (such as anime fandom) and become guests in fan conventions.
