Luis Rego is celebrating his 82nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.
Popular actor-comedian-musician Luis Rego (French Fried Vacation, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 82nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Rego, a cultural icon
Born in Lisbon on May 30, 1943, Luis Rego's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Rego's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Luis hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Luis Rego as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 82.
Happy Birthday, Luis, you're the best!
