I always found it hilarious how Slater didn’t know that he was Mexican (or at least embraced his Mexican side) until the college years. Then again, A.C. Slater was originally meant to be an Italian character so the writers never really changed his ethnicity for awhile.
Anyway, Mario Lopez is beautiful and has the cutest dimples!
