Everyone knows who he is, that charming southern boy-turned-actor-singer from Florida. Carlos Pena Jr. is one of the four making up Big Time Rush. Everyone sees him on the television screen as the humorous, slightly dim teenager. Everyone sees him on stage, singing his heart out. Everyone thinks they know him.
