Mencia comes from a humble background, born in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, the 17th of 18 children. His parents sent him to the United States when he was about three months old, where he was raised in Maravilla Projects in Los Angeles, California by his aunt and uncle. In his early teens, Mencia moved back to Honduras because his family wanted him to avoid the destructive gang culture of East Los Angeles. When Mencia later returned to Los Angeles, he showed such educational prowess that he was immediately promoted to the tenth grade. Soon after, he successfully graduated from Garfield High School.
Mencia began his career doing stand-up on amateur night at the comedy club, Laugh Factory. He later showcased at The Comedy Store and became a regular, performing nightly. After he found success on the L.A comedy circuit, Mencia was named "International Comedy Grand Champion" from Buscando Estrellas (the Latino version of Star Search). This led to appearances on "In Living Color," "The Arsenio Hall Show," "Moesha" and "An Evening at the Improv." In 1994, he hosted the HBO comedy series "Loco Slam" and in 1998 he hosted "Funny is Funny!" on Galavision. Mencia released a comedy album in 2000 called "Take a Joke, America" that showcased his brand of humor.
Mencia continued his journey up the comedy ladder by headlining "The Three Amigos" tour with Freddy Soto and Pablo Francisco in 2002, which sold out in record time around the United States. He was also featured in the independent films, "Outta Time" and "29 Palms" and starred in guest spots on "The Shield" and "The Bernie Mac Show," among others. In 2002, he received a CableACE Award nomination for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special for his HBO special. That same year, Mencia was featured on "Comedy Central Presents." Mencia remained busy and after the success of his solo DVD, "Carlos Mencia: Not For The Easily Offended," "Mind of Mencia" went into development. The show was an instant hit and after the first season, Comedy Central signed Mencia back for his own original stand-up special, "Carlos Mencia: No Strings Attached." The special was the first Comedy Central Stand-up Special DVD to achieve Platinum sales status.
"Mind of Mencia" debuted on Comedy Central in early 2005. It became one of the strongest shows in the network's history, averaging about 1.5 million total viewers. "Mind of Mencia" was executive produced by Carlos Mencia and Robert Morton ("Late Night with David Letterman").
In the summer of 2007, Mencia starred opposite Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan in the Farrelly Brothers' hit feature film, "The Heartbreak Kid" (DreamWorks). In the fall of that year Mencia headlined a nationwide comedy tour titled "Carlos Mencia Live Presented by Bud Light." The highly anticipated tour brought Mencia face-to-face with his fans from September 2007 through December 2007. Shortly thereafter, Mencia taped a new comedy special for Comedy Central, "Carlos Mencia: Performance Enhanced," that aired in May 2008.
Since 2007, every holiday season Mencia has embarked on a USO Tour to the Persian Gulf to entertain the troops serving overseas. For his 2008 trip, Mencia visited Kuwait to host "Operation MySpace," an exclusive concert for American Troops in the Middle East alongside Jessica Simpson and The Pussycat Dolls. The special aired on FX in April 2008. Mencia's 2009 USO tour had stops in Turkey, Kirkuk, Baghdad, Qatar, Afghanistan, and many other countries.
In July 2008, Mencia began his tour, "At Close Range" at Red Rock Amphitheatre in Colorado. The tour was sponsored by Bud Light and co-promoted by Icon Entertainment and Live Nation. Larger than all of his previous tours, Mencia performed in 80 cities across the country. In the summer of 2009, he kicked off a nationwide comedy tour entitled "The Administration of Laughter" which brought him to excited audiences all around the country.
Mencia starred in the family comedy "Our Family Wedding" (FOX Searchlight) alongside America Ferrara and Forrest Whitaker. The film was released to theaters nationwide on March 12th, 2010.
In the last couple years, Mencia chose to go back to his comedic roots, allowing him to share his newest material with smaller and more intimate audiences. In addition to touring, Mencia is continuously writing material for television pilots and upcoming comedy specials.
Carlos Mencia presently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and their son.

His dynamic performances have captivated audiences globally, showcasing his versatility and depth as an actor.

With a career marked by creativity, integrity, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, Nigel Miguel stands as a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring impact of cinematic artistry.- Miguel Izaguirre, like many before him, immigrated to America in search of a better life. This journey began in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, where he was born, and landed his family in Miami, FL; a city that, to Miguel's young mind, embodied the very essence of opportunity. As he grew up, the city he now called home inspired a new perspective - one that dug deep beneath the shiny veneer of South Beach to the heart of urban grit, natural beauty, and a melting pot of community influence. The very streets of Miami seemed to breathe artistic expression. It was through this appreciation of differing cultures that Miguel became interested in camera work. He soon found himself shooting and editing videos for leisure, using the very city as the stage in which his stories were set. His passion for the arts was flourishing and life itself became the teacher with whom he studied hardest. Learning from mistakes, he would say, is one of the man gifts life provides.
Ever the studious pupil, Miguel followed the path set forth in sunny South Florida to Los Angeles, where he has been fortunate enough to be a part of several, major award-winning, productions. He got his start by snagging a recurring role on Showtime's Emmy award-winning dramedy Shameless, which stars William H. Macy and Emma Rossum, but has since used a skillful blend of life experiences and formal training to snag starring roles in HBO's True Detective and Showtime's Ray Donovan. He's even had a chance to flex his comedy muscle with spots on NBC's Trial & Error, Community, Netflix's Love, and Disjointed.
Catch Miguel's most recent work on Netflix's groundbreaking original series Orange Is The New Black alongside Taylor Schilling, Laura Prepon, and Uzo Aduba, and then tune in to Amazon's hit series Goliath where Miguel plays Flaco, the right-hand man of a drug kingpin, opposite Billy Bob Thorton. - Actress

It controlled vast territories and transportation networks in Central America and had a monopoly on the banana industry. In 1933, just after Doubleday was born, the company moved its headquarters to New Orleans. Her family moved there in 1936 and she grew up there, appearing in several local theater productions as a child.

After a year, she graduated and lived in Rome for a short time, returning to New York in 1954, where she soon began taking acting lessons from playwright and actor Michael V. Gazzo, who later gained fame for portraying Frankie "Five Angels" Pentageli in The Godfather Part II (1974). In 1956, she enrolled in the famed Actor's Studio under the tutelage of Lee Strasberg, who also appeared in The Godfather Part II (1974), as mafia kingpin Hyman Roth. There, she met her first husband, actor and writer Clyde Ware. They had a son, but the marriage ended in 1961 and Ware moved to Hollywood, where he began a successful screenwriting career. Doubleday then married again in 1962 to actor Archie Smith. They moved to Seattle and acted together in the Seattle Repertory Theater for several years. Their marriage also produced a son, but tragically, in February 1970, he was killed when thrown from the back seat of the car Smith was driving near Lake Sammamish State Park near Issaquah. Smith was slowing down for traffic and lost control of the vehicle, which skidded off the road. The couple's pain at this loss was eased a bit when Doubleday gave birth to a daughter about a year later. The family moved to Pennsylvania and were involved with the Penn State Theater Department. In the early 1980's, they moved to Denver and were resident actors with the Denver Theater Company. In May 1995, Doubleday died in the arms of her beloved husband Archie Smith.
