    Eugenio Derbez

    Eugenio González Derbez, or Eugenio Derbez, is known throughout the Latin community

    to be a successful comedic actor and director. He is known mostly in Hispanic culture for "La

    Familia P. Luche," a sitcom that ran from 1994 until 2012 and is one of the television networks

    Univision's longest-running and most successful sitcoms. He's known in America more for the

    movies ​How to be a Latin Lover​ (2017), ​Overboard​ (2018), and ​Instructions not Included

    (2013).

    Eugenio was born on September 2, 1962, in Mexico City, Mexico's capital, and is

    currently 59 years old. Both his parents are also of Mexican descent. After residing in America,

    Eugenio settled down with his family in Los Angles, a California city. Eugenio started his career

    in Mexico as an actor and eventually became a successful actor, writer, producer, and director.

    He built himself a TV and film production company and earned a degree in acting, film

    directing, and has trained in the arts of dancing, singing, and music.

    In 2013 Eugenio Derbez directed and co-wrote, Instructions not Included in Mexico, and

    it was considered the most successful Spanish-speaking movie in the United States and

    worldwide when it first came out, earning over 100 Million dollars.

    Eugenio has never really faced any hardships other than trying to break the Hispanic

    stereotype in America, but he did create a fundraiser in 2017 for Mexicos Earthquake Relief. All
    the money raised went directly to the Mexico Rises Earthquake Fund. In Mexico, many places

    were struck by earthquakes in September 2017. On September 8 an 8.1-magnitude earthquake

    hit, and on September 19 a 7.1-magnitude earthquake also hit both killing hundreds of people.

    Eugenio had the support of the entertainment community that helped get his country through that

    painful moment.

    Eugenio is an icon for many Hispanics in America and around the world. He has inspired

    many, and from him, we can learn that just because someone is from a different place doesn't

    mean they can't provide something significant to society. He has tried to break the Hispanic

    stereotype and has done this through humor in his movies. Eugenio has taught us that we

    shouldn't give up on our dreams, no matter what hardships we face. His vision was to make to

    the United States and become a famous actor, but no matter how close Mexico is to Los Angles,

    there is always a problem with diversity, but he didn't give up. In 2014 Variety named Eugenio

    Derbez at the top of the Most Influential Latios list along with Sofia Vergara, and he earned a

    star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2016. He continues to inspire many up to this day.
