Guillermo Rodriguez[1] (born January 27, 1971)[2] is a Mexican-American[3] talk show personality who rose to fame while working as a parking lot security guard at the Hollywood Boulevard studios for American late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live![4] He continues in character and title as the show's security guard, but actually performs nightly as Jimmy Kimmel's sidekick.
Early life
Rodriguez was born in Zacatecas, Mexico.[5]
Career
Rodriguez began working as a parking-lot security guard for Jimmy Kimmel Live! studio in 2003.[6] At that time he also had a second full-time job as a hotel room server as well as working weekends at a third.[7] After he was caught sleeping in announcer Dicky Barrett’s car, Kimmel offered to have him appear on the show.[8] Due to his shyness at the time Rodriguez initially turned down the offer to appear on the show in 2003 but was talked into it by one of the producers.[7][9] His early appearances were with "Uncle Frank" Potenza in a series of bits called "Security Night Live".[10][11] (Potenza had originally handled security for the show before his role was expanded to appear on screen.)[11] Rodriguez soon moved to acting in skits on the show with his first role being Michael Jackson's Spanish cook. His broken English coupled with his affability and teddy bear-like quality earned him a high-profile supporting role as a personality on the show, in which he usually plays the Everyman.[10] Guillermo took over main red-carpet interviewing duties in 2011 after Potenza died. [4]
Personal life
Rodriguez is married. He and his wife have a son named Benji who was born on December 11, 2011.
He became a U.S. citizen in 2005.[12]
