Who is Adam Irigoyen?
Irigoyen was born and raised in Miami in a Cuban-American family, with his first language being Spanish, and he moved to Los Angeles at the age of 11. “My family, we’re Cuban,” he told Fox in 2012. “So we’re all about encouraging each other. When I told them I wanted to be an actor and be on TV, they told me I could do it. They motivated me and made me believe in myself.”
“I’m still getting adjusted to everything,” he said. “Getting used to the whole industry feel over here has been fun. I just had to learn how to take the answer ‘no’ a lot. It made me become thicker-skinned as an actor.”

I really admire him for that and I want my career to turn out like that.”
