    We were all watching Saved by the Bell when we all first fell in love with Mario Lopez. However, once the show ended he only played minor roles, posed in his underwear, and was a host on Extra. I thought all his serious acting roles were behind him until Jublia came along.

    I noticed a Jublia commercial and much to my surprise the one and only Mario Lopez decided to briefly leave Extra to co-star along with toenail fungus. Reminding us all of his acting chops.

    He goes from excited, to shocked, to disgusted. SO. MANY. EMOTIONS. HOW DOES HE DO IT?!?!

    Well, Mario Lopez is here to show us how.

    Excitement

    Mario says you have to really ~feel~ the emotions. This emotion comes easy for Mario because a single smile of his can lighten up a dark room. If acting excited does not come easy to you he suggests thinking "Extra is going to double your pay." This usually helps Mario.

    The Casual Turn

    If you are having trouble getting into character or need a second to get yourself together, casually turn around for few seconds to get in the zone.

    Then *BOOM* TOTAL SHOCK

    "What!? toenail fungus...on the...ruh...ruh...red carpet!?" -Mario was probably thinking.

    with a smooth transition to complete DISGUST

    Via ispot.tv

    Mario says, "Pretend like you're smelling a fart". For the Spanish readers he says, "Imagina que estás oliendo un pedo".

    Great advice Mario.

    Quizzical

    This emotional doesn't come naturally to Mario because he is always the one asking the questions. A tip from Mario is to not be afraid to push your emotional boundaries.

    Flirty

    To connect with the audience he says you need to flirt with the camera. Pretend you are trying to seduce a lover. Mario likes to raise an eyebrow, but you can also try winking or any other personal moves.

    And in the end Mario throws up the impromptu finger point. CLASSIC MARIO.

    Thanks for all the great acting tips Mario.
