There's John Leguizamo, for one. I doubt he was doing anything he wouldn't drop for an actual paycheck. And if they're going to go for a "Young Speedy sets out to find his place in the world", he's gotta have a more appropriate voice for it than Lopez, on whom you can just hear the middle age.
There's also another high-profile comedian who at least pretends to be Hispanic. But let's be real, no one who could pass a competency hearing would suggest him for anything vaguely family-oriented.
Though really, I think the real key here is that Lopez and his wife are the producers. I somehow imagine that had a loooooot to do with this choice.
