George Lopez
George Lopez owes his breakthrough in
television to Sandra Bullock who, having noticed a dearth of Hispanic
shows on TV, sent a scout from her production company to check the clubs
for Latino talent, and discovered Lopez.
Born April 23, 1961, in Mission Hills, CA, Lopez has remained true to
his Latino roots, going so far as to turn down a role in Desperado
because he didn't want to be in films that promoted negative images of
Latinos.
A disc jockey on Los Angeles' MEGA 92.3 radio station, Lopez
has gone on to star in his own TV show, George Lopez, a comedy about a
Latino-American family. Among the movies he has made are, Fatal
Instinct, Bread and Roses, Real Women Have Curves, and Tortilla Heaven.
Lopez is married and has one child.
