If Robert Rodriguez’s Facebook profile were public, the social networking site would probably crash daily. The Texas-based director’s real-life friends list includes a who’s who of Latino Hollywood—actors whom Rodriguez tapped to be in his movies and whose careers he’s helped catapult. Check out our list below and look for Machete Kills on Oct. 11 and Rodriguez’s action-packed cable network, El Rey, in early 2014.

We’re loving Michelle Rodriguez’s new role! The 34-year-old Puerto Rican/Dominican actress lends the voice of Paz in DreamWorks Animation's upcoming TURBO. The 3D comedy, which drops in theaters on July 17, centers on an underdog snail whose dreams come to fruition after he attains super-sonic speed (what snail wouldn't want that? Let's be real).

Think you know everything about legendary comedian Cheech Marin? Well, think again. We chatted with the Cheech & Chong star about his tour, upcoming book, We Come in Peace and We Have You Surrounded, animated movie and more!

Congrats on your tour! You and Chong have such a long history. How did you guys reunite after your split in the 1980’s?

Kids and adults everywhere are in for a treat! Ice Age: Continental Drift finally hits theaters today! We've been counting down the days for our fave Sid the sloth (played by John Leguizamo) to be back in action. Luckily he isn't alone either! Guest voices, Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj, Wanda Sykes, and Drake join him on the adventure.
