Sandra Bullock - "George Lopez"
George Lopez's long-running self-titled ABC sitcom had a surprising backer: Sandra Bullock.
Bullock's Fortis Films company produced the series and cashed in with a syndication deal. The Oscar-winning actress even appeared on the sitcom on three occasions.
"If it wasn't for her involvement in me, or her belief in me, I would have had a very different last 10 years," Lopez told People in 2011.
"She invested in me, and she wouldn't take no for an answer. And with that, and just who she is, she has my undying love, and my undying loyalty. Every day I thank her for believing in me."
