Raul González brings to Univision a rich background in the entertainment business. He began his career at a very early age, acting in children?s theatre in his native Caracas. In his early twenties, for five consecutive years, he hosted the highest rated kid?s TV show in Venezuela, ?Supercrópolis,? becoming the nation?s most popular and recognized figure among young audiences, and winning various awards for excellence as a television host. Meanwhile, he became the spokesperson for major international consumer products, continued working in theatre, and wrote and recorded three successful music CDs targeted to children. In 1994, he moved to Miami, where he worked as a producer of children?s programming, hosted a series of specials for the Discovery Kids and Nickelodeon cable networks, and co-hosted ?Sobre Ruedas,? a popular Spanish-language AM radio program.
