There are about a dozen threads where this has already been answered, but since you're still relatively new (and, unlike most newcomers, you use the English language properly), I'll cut you some slack.
Umaga is played by Eddie Fatu, who previously worked for WWE as "Jamal" from Three Minute Warning. He also went on to moderate fame in TNA under the name Ekmo Fatu. He's had some real-life personal issues, which resulted in his being released by WWE in the first place. But, Vince McMahon is not one to hold a grudge against someone who is that big.
Another reason that he looks so familiar (if you're a long-time fan, anyway) is that his cousin is Rikishi who used to be one of the Headshrinkers, a tag team whose gimmick was - like Umaga's - that they were big and scary and Samoan. I always thought they sort of looked alike while Umaga was in 3MW, but now it's downright eerie.
Armando Alejandro Estrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrada is played by former OVW manager/announcer Osama Alejandro Rodriguez.
