Why he might be annoying:

He portrays a clumsy, dim-witted, big eared co-worker who works at the assembly line at Power Bros. Aviation, who secretly has a huge crush on Angie on the George Lopez TV show.
He has squinty eyes.
He is very short and pudgy.
He was on the Disney Channel 'Gotta Kick It Up!' movie (2002).

Why he might not be annoying:

He is of Mexican descent.
He is best friends with George Lopez.
He frequently works with Jamie Foxx.
He is a very funny guy.
He attended the prestigious University of Texas-Pan American, and where he starred in many mainstage plays.
After graduating in 1987, he moved to Los Angeles with the dreams of making it big in Hollywood. His move was aided by his university's theater department head, Marian Monta, who gave him $1,000 out of her own pocket.
In Los Angeles, he joined Latino Theater Lab, founded by Jose Luis Valenzuela in 1985. He took part in workshops and appeared in theater plays like 'The Inspector General,' 'La Virgen del Tepeyac' and 'Stone Wedding.'
He also worked with Improvisational Theater Project and starred in several of their plays. (All of his earlier works in plays must have helped him earn a considerable sum of money, and to not ask for handouts anymore).
