George Edward Lopez was born on 23 April 1961, in Mission Hills, California USA. He’s the son of Anatasio Lopez and his wife Frieda, and of Mexican ancestry. George had a tough childhood, since his father left the family when he was just two months old, and his mother abandoned him when he was 10.
He then lived with his maternal grandmother Benita Gutierrez, a factory worker, and step-grandfather, Refugio Gutierrez, who worked in construction. He went to San Fernando High School, from which he matriculated in 1979.
George’s career started in the late ‘80s, appearing in variety shows including “Comedy Club” in 1987, and “The Arsenio Hall Show” in 1989. With the start of the ‘90s, George began appearing in films, such as “Ski Patrol” (1990), “Fatal Instinct” (1993), and others, while in 2000 he was approached by Sandra Bullock, who was concerned about the lack of sitcoms made for Hispanics, wanting him to create and star in a comedy series.
Just two years later, George created his sitcom “George Lopez”, which was picked up by ABC. Aired from 2002 to 2007, it brought George international fame and a number of awards, including the Imagen Foundation Award for Best Actor – Television, plus a Star on the Walk of Fame for his Contribution to Television.
George is also known for his appearances in the films “The Spy Next Door” as Glaze, and as Alphonso in the film “Valentine’s Day”, both in 2010, then as George in the TV series “Saint George” in 2014, and as George Lopez in the TV series “Lopez” (2016-2017). In recent years, George portrayed Manuel Gomez in the film “El Chicano” (2018), and was Herb in the film “Walking with Herb” (2021).
Furthermore, George is known for his many comedy specials, including “Why You Crying” (2004), “America’s Mexican” (2007), and “Tall, Dark, and Chicano” (2009), among others.
He is now one of the most popular Mexican-American comedians, and has earned several awards for his work and contributions to the Latino community, such as the Latino Spirit Award for Excellence in Television, and was named one of the Top 25 Hispanics in America by Time magazine back in 2005.
George runs his own charity foundation – The Ann & George Lopez Foundation – and was named Honorary Mayor of Los Angeles, thanks to his fund-raising efforts for the victims of the earthquake in El Salvador and Guatemala. He has contributed to the Latino community in many ways, including donating a large sum of money on a yearly basis to San Fernando Elementary School, and has ensured that every pupil of the school receives gifts during the holidays.
According to sources, George Lopez’s net worth has been estimated to be around $45 million, earned through his successful career as an actor, comedian, and producer.
