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:
“At the earliest ending of winter,
In March, a scrawny cry from outside
Seemed like a sound in his mind.
He knew that he heard it,
A bird’s cry, at daylight or before,
In the early March wind.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Even though fathers, grandparents, siblings, memories of ancestors are important agents of socialization, our society focuses on the attributes and characteristics of mothers and teachers and gives them the ultimate responsibility for the child’s life chances.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
