Paul Rodriguez


In a career that spans more than two decades, PAUL RODRIGUEZ (Chico) has appeared in more than 30 films and countless television series and specials. His big break came while doing comedy warm-ups for Norman Lear’s “Gloria.” Lear ultimately wrote and developed a weekly series for him, “a.k.a. Pablo,” which is honored at the Smithsonian as the first television show about a Mexican-American family on mainstream American television.

Rodriguez went on to do two other series, “Trial and Error” and “Grand Slam,” and hosted “El Show de Paul Rodriguez,” an entertainment talk show for the Univision Network. His 1994 directorial debut “A Million to Juan” was a family comedy which he also wrote and starred in.  Rodriguez guest-starred in several episodes of Showtime’s original series “Resurrection Boulevard,” and starred in six comedy specials for HBO, including “Loco Slam,” “Live in San Quentin” and “Idiots and Armadillos,” which he also wrote and executive produced. He served as host for The ALMA Awards and Showtime’s Latino Laugh Festival, as well as his own TV creations, including “Back to School” and “Behind Bars.”

Rodriguez made his feature-film debut in the comedy “D.C. Cab.” He had co-starring roles in “Miracles,” “The Whoopee Boys,” “Quicksilver,” “Born in East L.A.” and “Made in America.” Rodriguez landed the coveted role of outspoken fight physician Freddie Pacheco in “Ali” for director Michael Mann. Other film credits include “The Price of Glory,” “Tortilla Soup,” “Crocodile Dundee in LA,” “The Shipment,” “Rat Race,” “Chasing Papi,” “Bloodwork,” “A Cinderella Story,” “Badasses,” “Cloud Nine” and “The World’s Fastest Indian.

Rodriguez executive produced and starred in the comedy concert film “The Original Latin Kings of Comedy.” He also starred in the TBS comedy showcase series entitled “The Laugh Factory: Very Funny.” As a well-rounded stand-up comedian with 25 years’ experience, he has performed live to more than a million concert goers, becoming the Original Latin King of Comedy.  Rodriguez remains strongly rooted in the Latino community, working with civic and educational groups; his main contributions go to the National Hispanic Scholarship Fund (NHSF). He also contributes to Comic Relief, appearing on the HBO programs, and hosts the annual Elizabeth Glazer Pediatrics Aids Foundation celebrity golf tournament. Rodriguez was voted one of the most influential Hispanics in America and was awarded the Ruben Salazar Award by the NCLR.
