One of our bright,promising actor's that will shine. ...Continue »
I have watched Mario since he was young and he has always been a great actor but as he became older and more mature, the series and shows he took on showed his talent even more. I believe because he is so great looking he is not given a fair chance in the acting world. Mario seems to be a wonderful young man with a lot of special qualities including the fact that he is very family oriented. We always hear about him going home to be with his family and how they truly support him in everything he does. When he was on Dancing with Stars he was the best dancer and should have won. My heart broke for him when he lost because it wasn't fair, matter of fact it seemed pretty dirty to me. Mario deserved better and I hope he gets bigger and better chances in his future.

You gotta love him ...Continue »
Mario is a very talanted actor that has hit our screens today. He plays each part he gets with conviction and talent. He makes you believe in each role he plays. You want to love him in the parts where he is the teddy bear actor and hate him when he plays a bad guy. He is not used enough in films where he can show his talent off more. He portrays characters that don't have lots of depths at times. He needs a great role where he can be seen as the actor he is

Mario Lopez is one of the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that 's what I think of him. And I heard that he can speak fluent Spanish. And that is just awesome!!!!!! It's a shame that the only serie that I saw (where he starred in) was Saved by the bell. And that was an awesome show!!!
