Once described as a man with a heart of gold, Laz Alonso is a truly talented actor, known for his roles in some Hollywood blockbusters such as Avatar, Fast and Furious and Jarhead.

Laz Alonso’s Bio, Parents, Height
The large (1.83 m) chunk of a man, Lazaro Alonso, was born on 25 March 1974 in Washington, D.C., the son of Afro-Cuban parents. Due to his Afro-Cuban ancestry, Laz is bilingual and speaks both English and Spanish.
Laz Alonso lost his father at an early age and was practically raised by his mother alone (this explains his sentimental attachment to single mothers). There is really no information about his pre-college education, but it is safe to assume that he completed his elementary and high school in Washington, D.C. (since it is known that he spent most of his childhood, youth, and part of his adult life in Washington, D.C.).

Alonso studied business administration (with a focus on marketing) at Howard University, Washington D.C., but has always had a passion for acting and show business in general. After his college education, he moved to New York where he got a job as an investment banker at Merrill Lynch on Wall Street.
This job was pretty hot for him, and since he was earning a really good salary, his working hours were discouraging (he often worked about 90 hours a week), so he had little or no time for himself or virtually anything else.

With the help of some friends, Laz started his own marketing company, which gave him enough time to pursue his passion for show business. He started taking acting classes in the evenings to acquire professional acting knowledge and to improve his inherent acting skills, which obviously paid off.
