Anthony Mendez(II)
- Actor

Anthony Mendez is best known as the Latin Lover Narrator on the CW's Jane the Virgin for which he earned two Emmy nominations (in 2015 and 2016) in the category of Outstanding Narrator. A third Outstanding Narrator nomination (in 2019) came as a result of his work on PBS's three-part documentary series, Wonders of Mexico. Anthony can also be heard on movie trailers for major studios.
Born in the Bronx and raised in Washington Heights, he brings a certain edge and passion to his narration. He's often called on for a Hispanic-accented "Latin-lover" voice-over or a more edgy, hard-hitting narrator for sports, like HBO Sports Minute and boxing promos Showtime, respectively.
Anthony grew up around the family business of headstones and mausoleums, which he says he draws upon for darker horror narratives. He attended college to study architecture. Unfortunately, he never got to design a home, but he did design a six-crypt mausoleum that still stands in St. Raymond's Cemetery in the Bronx.
Anthony lives in Los Angeles with his wife and three children, and works mostly from his own studio.
