Arvizu began his career as a magician and appeared on early Mexican television. His voice career began with the Spanish-language dub of the puppet series Howdy Doody, as Howdy and his friend Don Burro. He soon established himself dubbing such theatrical cartoon stars as Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, Mr. Magoo, Mighty Mouse, Popeye, and Felix the Cat. In the 1960s, he was often heard in Hanna-Barbera series, as Fred Flintstone on The Flintstones, Choo Choo and Benny the Ball on Top Cat, Magilla Gorilla, So-so the monkey on Peter Potamus and His Flying Balloon, Dr. Doom on The Fantastic Four and Henry Orbit on The Jetsons.
