Jaime Vega (b. 1940) is a Mexican actor who puppeteered Bodoque on Plaza Sésamo in the 1980s. Even before his stint as a puppeteer, he dubbed Ernie, the Big Bad Wolf, and others on the show. In a Mexican anti-smoking cartoon made for the series, Vega voiced a cigar-chomping owl.

Vega also dubbed Scooter on El show de los Muppets and in the early Muppet movies. He has been heard in various other Henson/Creature Shop dubs: The English Patient (as Sergeant Hardy), George of the Jungle (as a mercenary), and Good Boy! (as the Greater Dane's Assistant). One of his later Muppet assignments was dubbing Chef Dan on Muppets Mayhem: Confusión eléctrica (The Muppets Mayhem).

Vega has acted sporadically in telenovelas since the 1970s, including Los Hermanos Coraje and Golpe Bajo, and appeared in a 1973 Mexican TV version of Les Misérables (as a gravedigger in the first episode). In the 1960s, he was heard in the Kalimán radio serials, as Gary Logan and others. As a dubbing actor, he is one of the main Mexican voices of Danny DeVito (including What's the Worst That Could Happen and Death to Smoochy) and has been heard as Ed Asner in The Bachelor, Peter Falk in Corky Romano, Joe Pesci in Casino, George Harris in The Interpreter, and James Gandolfini in The Mexican. For TV, he dubbed Conrad Janis on Mork and Mindy, Victor Garber on Legends of Tomorrow and related series. Cartoon dubbing roles include Sinestro on Super Friends, Clyde on Pac-Man, Anger in Inside Out, Lou in Over the Hedge, Kamaji in Spirited Away, and PC Mackintosh in Wallace and Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
