Alazraqui was born in Sacramento, California to Argentine parents and moved to Concord, California at an early age. He later returned to Sacramento to attend Cal State-Sacramento where he began competing in open mic contests. After winning in his fourth year of competing at the San Francisco International Comedy Competition, he took his prize money and moved to Los Angeles.[1]

Alazraqui has since performed several voices for Nickelodeon cartoons, including Juandissimo Magnifico and Denzel Q. Crocker on The Fairly OddParents and Rocko the wallaby on Rocko's Modern Life. He has also voiced the titular protagonist of the first game in the Spyro the Dragon series, the Taco Bell chihuahua,[2] Rikochet in the first two seasons of Mucha Lucha and Mr. Weed on Family Guy. It is mentioned in the DVD commentary track that Mr. Alazraqui was reluctant to leave the Family Guy series. In particular, Seth McFarlane suggests that the untimely death of Alazraqui's character, Mr. Weed took the actor by surprise.

In 2005, he added the voices for two Cartoon Network series - The Life and Times of Juniper Lee where he played Monroe, a guardian dog with a Scottish accent and the lead character in Camp Lazlo - and in 2006 added Salty Mike from Squirrel Boy and Walden in Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! on Nick Jr. to his credits. He played Wisk in Glen Hill's 2000 film version of L. Frank Baum's The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. He also provided the voice of Nestor in Happy Feet.

Alazraqui plays Deputy James Oswaldo Garcia on Comedy Central's Reno 911!. He has also been featured on Comedy Central Presents.

Alazraqui is also an accomplished tennis player with a United States Tennis Association grade of 4.0, and has made almost 700 jumps as a skydiver.
