Thanks USLatino for the pictures
These comedic actors work so well as a team they're names belong together. They make people laugh with their television shows, movies and songs that bring Dominican humor to its fullest and most funniest. They both have such energy and creativness when they perform. Their characters are way out there yet believable, to an extent. Even if you do not understand spanish much their facial expressions and sometimes slapstick comedy makes one laugh.
