This remarkable achievement was followed by a third nomination in 2019 for his work on the PBS documentary series Wonders of Mexico.
Anthony's versatility as a narrator has led to a wide range of projects, including movie trailers for major studios. His unique ability to convey a sense of passion and edge has made him a sought-after voice in the industry. He is often called upon to provide a Hispanic-accented "Latin-lover" voice-over or a more edgy, hard-hitting narrator for sports, as seen in his work on HBO Sports Minute and boxing promos for Showtime.
Born in the Bronx and raised in Washington Heights, Anthony's upbringing has undoubtedly influenced his approach to narration. He grew up surrounded by the family business of headstones and mausoleums, which he draws upon for darker horror narratives. Despite initially attending college to study architecture, Anthony never had the opportunity to design a home. However, he did design a six-crypt mausoleum that still stands in St. Raymond's Cemetery in the Bronx.
Anthony currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife and three children, where he primarily works from his own studio. His dedication to his craft has led to a successful career, and he continues to captivate audiences with his unique voice and style.
