Cris Abrego is a son of immigrant Mexican parents from El Monte, CA, who built a reality TV empire contributing to create mega-hit television shows including “The Surreal Life,” “Flavor of Love” and “Rock of Love and Charm School.” Now, as Co-Executive General Manager of Endemol Shine North America, he shares his incredible journey of success in Hollywood through his new book, “Make it Reality: Create Your Opportunity, Own Your Success.”
Abrego’s tell-all book, available on May 3, provides practical and motivating lessons collected from almost 20 years on the frontlines of TV, including how to visualize your goals and work tirelessly to attain them; when to take risks and push boundaries; and how to continually raise the bar for yourself and realize there are no limits on what can be achieved.
Abrego looks back on his humble beginnings in El Monte when he was only dreaming of doing something big with his life to his current days of working with the likes of Pitbull, Ryan Seacrest, Eva Longoria, Steve Harvey, George Lopez, Flavor Flav, Mario Lopez and Irv Gotti.
“Make It Reality: Create Your Opportunity, Own Your Success” will give any reader the urge to take action, inspire creativity and take control of their life. Abrego proves that success isn’t about your pedigree or your connections; rather it’s about vision, leadership, and courage. He teaches that finding your overarching dream is the first step in achieving your goals.
Abrego and his Endemol Shine North America co-CEO, Charlie Corwin, have overseen the creation of new scripted, unscripted and Latino divisions in the company, which has produced nearly 1,000 hours of programming across 30 networks including the "The Real Housewives Of Atlanta" on Bravo, “MasterChef” franchise on Fox and “Big Brother” on CBS. In addition, Endemol Shine Latino launched “Gran Hermano” on Telemundo, the first Spanish-language version of "Big Brother" to air in the U.S., and recently produced initial seasons of both "Big Brother" and "MasterChef" in Mexico.
