August 24, 2009.
Gay-friendly, 5’ 10” Mario Lopez, who will celebrate his 36th birthday October 10, began his acting career in the short-lived series, a.k.a. Pablo (1984), but is probably best known to baby boomers as A.C. Slater from NBC's popular 1980s teen comedy series Saved by the Bell (1989), which lasted five years.

After The Bell ended in 1994, Lopez went on to reprise his role as Slater in the short-lived spin-off series Saved by the Bell: The College Years. Gay men discovered and fell in love with Lopez when he starred as Olympic diver Greg Louganis in the television movie Breaking the Surface: The Greg Louganis Story (1997), a story about the buff gay swimmer who came out after testing positive for HIV.

Lopez has also emceed prime time television pageants; Miss Teen USA in 1998, 2003 and August 2007; Miss America in January 2007; and Miss Universe in May 2007, giving him the distinction of being the only individual to have served in hosting capacity for both of the major pageant system organizations.

The 2007 Miss Teen USA pageant Lopez hosted became particularly known for Caitlin Upton's incoherent response to a question posed to her in the final question round of the competition, the video of which became an Internet meme.

In the fall of 2006, Lopez signed on as a contestant on the third season of Dancing with the Stars on ABC with professional partner Karina Smirnoff who was making her series debut. They finished in second place, but in the mind of many they were the true winners.

Lopez was briefly married to actress Ali Landry (April 24-May 12 in 2004). The marriage ended in divorce after Landry accused him of infidelity throughout their relationship. The wedding was declared to not exist and an annulment was granted. He allegedly cheated on his wife-to-be one day before, as well as right after, the wedding. He was caught by onlookers playing around at his bachelor party.

Ironically, Lopez was named People magazine's "Hottest Bachelor" in June 2008, a title which befits him to this day, in my mind! Although you’ll see him in lots of photographs with Eva Longoria Parker of Desperate Housewives, the two are not lovers, just best friends and have been since 1992.

In June of last year, Mario told People magazine he gets hit on by men, but doesn't mind: "I'm very flattered being popular in the gay community because they are a hip, cool community. They're very cutting-edge, so they like me, and I think that's great."
