Although Lopez has starred in several movies, he is best known as A.C. Slater from the 1980’s teen comedy “Saved by the Bell”. Slater was considered to he the show’s heart throb wrestler who always got the girl. He still remains close friends with co-star Mark Paul Gosselaar who played Zack on the show. Prior to his stint on Saved by the Bell, Lopez was a wrestler for his high school in San Diego, CA where he was born and raised. However his true passion is dancing. He took lessons as a child and even used his natural abilities during one episode of Saved Bell the Bell in which he was dancing ballet.

Lopez was once engaged to actress/model Ali Landry in 2003. The marriage was annulled because Landry accused Lopez of cheating on the eve of their wedding and also after their wedding. He was caught by on-lookers cheating at his bachelor party as well. Landry had the marriage annulled days after saying “I do”. Since, Lopez hasn’t received much support from fans until now.
Since the debut of Dancing with the Stars, Lopez has caught the attention of women and teenagers alike. With his tight spandex costumes, showing just the right areas, and signature smile Lopez is destined to be this season’s winner. His relationship with Karina started the first day they met to film the show. They have been inseparable ever since. On the first two episodes of the show he has proven to be a force to be reckoned with. He won praise from the judges as well as the audience. Many believe his chemistry with Karina proved to be more then just a partnership and they were right. It only gives you one more reason to watch!
