Gary Soto: Hello. This is Gary Soto, and people are often very curious about my name because I am Mexican-American and people are surprised that I don't have a name like Jose or Pedro or Gustavo. I was named after Gary Cooper, so that's my name. I guess my mom adored the actor from the '40's named Gary Cooper.
