The voice behind Garcia, the polar bear, is Reinaldo Faberlle, an actor, writer, and musician originally from Humacao, Puerto Rico. Faberlle is known for his roles in projects such as Ozark (2022), The Suicide Squad (2021), and Ordinary Joe (2021).
His acting career spans film and television, with various performances in dramas, comedies, and action projects. In addition to acting, Faberlle has experience as a writer and musician, showcasing his involvement in multiple fields.
In Red One, Faberlle voices Garcia, a polar bear agent who works for M.O.R.A. (Mythological Oversight and Restoration Authority). This secret organization maintains a fragile peace between mythical creatures and humanity.
While speaking to the Houston Chronicle, Faberlle described his character in Red One as,
"My first thought was to come in and have big movements and bear stuff. Jake (Kasdan, the director) was very clear to play him straight, like a real mercenary, a real soldier fighting alongside The Rock. Once we found the cadence of the character, we slipped in real natural."
He further elaborated,
"It was just like any other character, aside from the rigging, the harness and the giant polar bear head on my own head. But that helped with the weight of being able to lumber through the scene and the way I walked and the way I moved around and interacted."

What is Red One about?
Directed by Jake Kasdan and written by Chris Morgan, Red One is a Christmas film that combines holiday traditions with action-adventure storytelling. The plot centers on the kidnapping of Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons) on Christmas Eve, threatening the fragile balance between mythical creatures and humanity.
Callum Drift (Dwayne Johnson), Santa’s security chief, teams up with Jack O’Malley (Chris Evans), a hacker-turned-reluctant ally, to locate and rescue Santa before Christmas is ruined.
The story goes into the workings of M.O.R.A., a secret organization that oversees the peace treaty between mythological entities and humans. Disillusioned with the world’s growing negativity, Callum views the mission as his last chance to restore his faith in humanity before retiring. Meanwhile, Jack is drawn into the mission not by belief in Santa but by the promise of financial gain, although his perspective changes throughout the film.
The plot introduces various mythical figures, including the villain Grýla (Kiernan Shipka), who kidnaps Santa as part of her plan to rid the world of naughty children using a magical snow globe.
The story also features Krampus (Kristofer Hivju), Santa’s estranged brother, who plays an important role in the climactic conflict. With the fate of Christmas hanging in the balance, the characters must overcome personal struggles and external threats to save the holiday.
