Santiago Gil

Santiago Gil (1932-1978) was a Mexican voice actor who dubbed Gonzo in the early episodes of El show de los Muppets, as well as guest star Elton John.
Gil began working as a teenager, heard in early dubs of European imports in the late 1940s and in juvenile roles on radio XEW dramas in the 1950s. He became busier in dubbing in the 1960s, dubbing classic Hollywood movies as they became available for Mexican TV. He dubbed Arthur Treacher in Heidi, Dwight Frye in Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, and minor parts like the asylum orderly in Dracula and a Macy's salesman in Miracle on 34th Street. He also dubbed more contemporary actors, from Michael Caine in The Ipcress File and Woody Allen in Casino Royale to his best known assignment, Burt Ward as Robin on Batman. 
Gil dubbed Ryan O'Neal on Peyton Place and in occasional movies, Michael Landon in early seasons of Little House on the Prairie, the title role on Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp, and Jim Fowler on Wild Kingdom. Cartoon work included the 1978 Mexican animated feature Los Supersabios, as well as dubbing George of the Jungle and Hanna-Barbera characters Spook (Top Cat) and Dynomutt, Dog Wonder.
