DORAL, Fla. -- A street in Doral will be named after Venezuelan singer and actor Jose Luis Rodriguez.
A portion of Northwest 107th Avenue will be co-designated as "Jose Luis Rodriguez El Puma Avenue" in honor of the actor.

He landed his first acting role in Puerto Rico, where he earned the nickname "El Puma". Since then, he has recorded more than 50 international hits and acted in more than 30 Spanish soap operas. Rodriguez has also performed in Spanish versions of popular programs like Meet the Robinsons and Desperate Housewives for the U.S. Hispanic market.
