Fray José de Guadalupe Mojica [mohe-cah] (14 September 1895 â€" 20
September 1974) was a Mexican Franciscan friar and former tenor and
film actor. He was known in the music and film fields as José
Mojica.Mojica joined the world of the American film industry before
entering religious life. Together with Dolores del RÃo, Tito GuÃzar,
Ramón Novarro and Lupe Vélez, he was among the few Mexican people
who made history in the early years of Hollywood. Regarding his
activity as a friar, singer and actor, he felt that religion and art
have never been at conflict. If God gave me the grace of voice and
singing skills, I use them for His glory, he explained.Born in San
Gabriel, Jalisco, Mojica was raised in a coffee and sugar plantation
community until the age of six, after his step-father Francisco died.
He never knew his real father. When his mother's extended family
suffered financial challenges, they moved with limited means to Mexico
City where he studied at the Academy of San Carlos and later attended
the National School of Agriculture. JosÃ(c) Mojica Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
