Initially portrayed by José F. Duval, Juan Valdez has been portrayed by Carlos Sánchez since 1969 and voiced by Norman Rose. In 2006, Sánchez announced his retirement, and Carlos Castañeda, a grower from the Andes, was selected by the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia as the new face of Juan Valdez. [1] The name "Juan Valdez" is by no means unique, as both Juan and Valdez are common Hispanic names and there are possibly thousands of men with this name alive today; this became relevant in a 2006 lawsuit over the phrase "Juan Valdez drinks Costa Rican coffee".
