Over the course of his long career in acting and stand-up comedy, George Lopez has made a name for himself as one of the top comedians touring today who has become particularly popular with the Mexican-American community. Lopez was born in Mission Hills, California, in 1961 and was abandoned by his mother at a young age. After being raised by his grandmother for the majority of his life, Lopez took the pain from such a rough childhood and channeled it into his stand-up to pull himself up by his bootstraps and become a major success in the entertainment industry. George Lopez continues to tour around the country with his unique brand of stand-up, and is sure to be spotted in many performances and voice acting roles in the foreseeable future.
