FORTINO MARIO ALFONSO MORENO REYES (BETTER KNOWN JUST AS MARIO MORENO) WAS BORN IN MEXICO CITY AND DIED IN 1993. HE WAS A COMICAL MEXICAN ACTOR WHO BECAME FAMOUS BY THE NAME OF HIS INVENTED CHARACTER, CANTINFLAS. EVERYONE LIKES CANTINFLAS BECAUSE HE IS AN EXEMPLARY PERSON AND HE IS A VERY COMIC PERSON AND THIS IS WHY ALL PEOPLE LIKE HIM.

IN 1928 HE WAS IN THE MEXICAN ARMY. HE LEFT IT ON THE 23RD OF MAY BECAUSE HIS FATHER DEMANDED THAT HE DO SO. IN 1930, CANTINFLAS MET A RUSSIAN PRODUCER NAMED “JACQUES GELMAN” AND CANTINFLAS ASSOCIATED HIMSELF WITH THIS MAN AND THEY CREATED SHORT FILMS TOGETHER. IN 1936, CANTINFLAS CREATED HIS OWN DEBUT IN THE FILM INDUSTRY WITH THE MOVIE “ NO TE ENGAÑES CORAZON” (DON`T CHEAT YOURSELF, MY LOVE). IN 1939 HE ESTABLISHED THE “POSA FILMS” BECAUSE HE WAS PRODUCING MANY SHORT FILMS AND IN 1940 HE CONVERTED TO CANTINFLAS FILMS.

HE IS AN ACTOR AND A COMEDIAN AND WAS PART OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ACTORS IN MEXICO. HE WAS HUMBLE BECAUSE HIS FATHER WAS A MAILMAN AND HE DIDN`T MAKE A LOT OF MONEY. BUT CANTINFLAS WANTED TO CHANGE THIS AND HELP HIS FATHER FINANCIALLY SO HE WOULDN`T SUFFER ANYMORE, SO HE BECAME AN ACTOR. HE WAS ALSO DEDICATED TO HELPING OTHER HUMBLE PEOPLE IN MEXICO AND HE DID THIS BY CREATING COMIC FILMS THAT ENTERTAINED AND MADE THEM LAUGH IN FINANCIALLY HARD TIMES.

HE WAS A HERO BECAUSE HE GAVE HOPE TO ALL THE POOR PEOPLE IN MEXICO. ALL OF HIS ACTIONS AND HIS LIFE`S STORY INSPIRED AND GAVE FAITH TO MEXICO`S HUMBLE POPULATION. HE SHOWED MEXICO THAT EVEN IF YOU HAVE NOTHING IN LIFE, YOU CAN CHANGE THIS AND CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOURSELF AND CHANGE YOUR FUTURE. JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE BORN POOR DOESN`T MEAN THAT YOU DON`T HAVE OPPORTUNITIES! CANTINFLAS SHOWED THIS TO THE PEOPLE ACROSS MEXICO.
