Animan's Favorite Spanish Teacher

This is Señor Alejandro Monsanto, or as some of his friends call him, "Monty".  He's the star of Animan's next cartoon, "The Spanish Teacher".  Although the cartoon's release is still a long way off in the future, it might be fun to share a little information about this character while we're all waiting.

Monty was born in Lisbon, Portugal. He has one older sister, Victoria. His Spanish mother is Maria Fernández Canales, and his Portuguese father is João de Viegas Monsanto.  João taught as a professor of Economics in Lisbon until Monty was 8. Then the family moved to Seville, Spain. After finishing high school, Monty then came to the U.S. to attend an American University in Texas. He received top scores in his major, Spanish Literature, and was also extremely popular with the school's football team, especially during the post-game weekends. After graduation, Monty was offered a teaching position as professor at a Southern California university, and has been there ever since. His wife of five years is a Mexican-American named Elena. They have no children.
