José Luis Rodríguez 'El Puma' - Biography
José Luis 'El Puma' Rodríguez was born on January 14, 1943 in Caracas, Venezuela as José Luis Rodríguez González. He is an actor, known for Casa de mi Padre (2012), Piel (1992) and Trópico (2007). He has been married to Carolina Pérez since 1997. They have one child. He was previously married to Lila Morillo.
Rodríguez surfaced in his homeland in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and was able to build a fan base there. He also participated in a famous commercial, along with his family during that time. Rodríguez went to Puerto Rico, where he participated in the Telenovela Cristina Bazán, alongside Johanna Rosaly and young Adamari López. It was whilst there that he received his nickname, El Puma. Later, he also made the telenovela, El ídolo, with Cuban actress Marylin Pupo, playing Omar Contreras (a.k.a. El Puma).
Rodríguez's main money revenue, however, was his singing career. His hits included Dueño de nada, Pavo real and Agárrense de las manos. With the second, he caused controversy at the 1982 contest of Miss Universe, which was being held in Lima, Peru; the song's main issue was interracial marriage.
In August 2013, Rodríguez was part of the first season of La Voz Perú, where he was coach for one of the four teams. On 20 December one of his pupils, young Daniel Lazo, placed first in the competition, making Rodríguez the first winning coach in the history of La Voz Perú.
