Handsome and charismatic, Mario Lopez brings the man's view every woman
wants to know more about to NBC Enterprise and Syndication's "The
Other Half." "There's three things men always talk about
- women, sports, and cars," Mario explains. "I love talking
about women because they are a constant study and you're always learning."
Although widely known for his role as the "high school jock" Slater
on the popular NBC comedy series "Saved By The Bell," Lopez
has developed into one of the fastest rising stars on television and
film. He recently co-produced and starred in the independent film "The
Courier" where he portrays a college student who takes a courier
job to help with tuition and finds himself unwittingly involved in a
drug smuggling ring. The film also starts Nancy O'Dell from "Access
Hollywood."
Born in San Diego, Lopez's first professional role was the younger brother
on the series "A.K.A. Pablo." Throughout the years, Lopez has
become known to television audiences through his series regular roles
on NBC's "Saved By The Bell" and USA Network's "Pacific
Blue," where he portrayed police officer Bobby Cruz. Lopez also
served as host of the syndicated series "Name Your Adventure" and
portrayed Olympic diving champion Greg Louganis in the telefilm "Breaking
the Surface: The Greg Louganis Story."
His film credits include "Colors," "Depraved" and a
starring role in the 1999 independent film "Eastside." Lopez
can be seen opposite Jon Seda in the upcoming independent film, "Rikki
The Pig" -- an adaptation of William Shakespeare's classic tragedy "Richard
III" set in the streets of East Los Angeles.
