Early Life
Luisito is a direct contemporary, to the day, of José Carlos Agrelot, the elder son of Puerto Rican comedian José Miguel Agrelot. Both of their fathers were best friends, were working together at a public show the day Luisito and José Jr. were born, and attended the same hospital for their respective sons' births. Both fathers were eventually buried on the same cemetery after their deaths, just metres from each other.
Luisito Vigoreaux and his brother Roberto were deeply impacted by the premature death of their mother (due to cancer) when they were young. By then, their father Luis Vigoreaux had been long separated from Ms. Lorenzana and had married actress Lydia Echevarria, a fact that caused much friction by the Vigoreaux brothers towards her. From his father's side, Luisito and Roberto also have two sisters, Vanessa Vigoreaux, an occasional theatrical actress, and Glendalys Vigoreaux.
Of the two brothers, the younger Roberto was actually the first one to have any media experience: he was a child actor, first doing bit parts in local soap operas, then starring in The Wonderful World of Disney Cristobalito, the Calypso Colt. As they came of age, both Vigoreaux brothers -Luisito particularly- worked closely with their father on his tv productions.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“Franklin said once in one of his inspired flights of malignity—
Early to bed and early to rise
Make a man healthy and wealth and wise.
As if it were any object to a boy to be healthy and wealthy and wise on such terms.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more—the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort—to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires—and expires, too soon, too soon—before life itself.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
