NLS 126: Confessions of a Hollywood Writer & Actor with John Leguizamo

NLS 126: Confessions of a Hollywood Writer & Actor with John Leguizamo

Fast-talking and feisty-looking John Leguizamo has continued to impress movie audiences with his versatility: he can play sensitive and naïve young men, such as Johnny in Hangin' with the Homeboys; cold-blooded killers like Benny Blanco in Carlito's Way; a heroic Army Green Beret, stopping aerial terrorists in Executive Decision; and drag queen Chi-Chi Rodriguez in To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.

Arguably, not since ill-fated actor and comedian Freddie Prinze starred in the smash TV series Chico and the Man had a youthful Latino personality had such a powerful impact on critics and fans alike. John Alberto Leguizamo Peláez was born July 22, 1960, in Bogotá, Colombia, to Luz Marina Peláez and Alberto Rudolfo Leguizamo.

He was a child when his family emigrated to the United States. He was raised in Queens, New York, attended New York University and studied under legendary acting coach Lee Strasberg for only one day before Strasberg passed away.

The extroverted Leguizamo started working the comedy club circuit in New York and first appeared in front of the cameras in an episode of Miami Vice. His first film appearance was a small part in Mixed Blood, and he had minor roles in Casualties of War and Die Hard 2 before playing a liquor store thief who shoots Harrison Ford in Regarding Henry.

His career really started to soar after his first-rate performance in the independent film Hangin' with the Homeboys as a nervous young teenager from the Bronx out for a night in brightly lit Manhattan with his buddies, facing the career choice of staying in a supermarket or heading off to college and finding out that the girl he loves from afar isn't quite what he thought she was.

The year 1991 was also memorable for other reasons, as he hit the stage with his show John Leguizamo: Mambo Mouth, in which he portrayed seven different Latino characters. The witty and incisive show was a smash hit and won the Obie and Outer Circle Critics Award, and later was filmed for HBO, where it picked up a CableACE Award.

He returned to the stage two years later with another satirical production poking fun at Latino stereotypes titled John Leguizamo: Spic-O-Rama. It played in Chicago and New York, and won the Drama Desk Award and four CableACE Awards. In 1995 he created and starred in the short-lived TV series House of Buggin', an all-Latino-cast comedy variety show featuring hilarious sketches and comedic routines.

The show scored two Emmy nominations and received positive reviews from critics, but it was canceled after only one season. The gifted Leguizamo was still keeping busy in films, with key appearances in Super Mario Bros., Romeo + Juliet and Spawn. In 1998 he made his Broadway debut in John Leguizamo: Freak, a "demi-semi-quasi-pseudo-autobiographical" one-man show, which was filmed for HBO by Spike Lee.

Utilizing his distinctive vocal talents, he next voiced a pesky rat in Doctor Dolittle before appearing in the dynamic Spike Lee-directed Summer of Sam as a guilt-ridden womanizer, as the Genie of The Lamp in the exciting Arabian Nights and as Henri DE Toulouse Lautrec in the visually spectacular Moulin Rouge!.

He also voiced Sid in the animated Ice Age, co-starred alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in Collateral Damage and directed and starred in the boxing film Undefeated. Subsequently, Leguizamo starred in the remake of the John Carpenter hit Assault on Precinct 13 and George A. Romero's long-awaited fourth "Dead" film, Land of the Dead.

There can be no doubt that the remarkably talented Leguizamo has been a breakthrough performer for the Latino community in mainstream Hollywood, in much the same way that Sidney Poitier crashed through celluloid barriers for African-Americans in the early 1960s.

Among his many strengths lies his ability to not take his ethnic background too seriously but also to take pride in his Latino heritage.

Please enjoy my conversation with John Leguizamo.

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS: Bashar's STUNNING Message You Need To LISTEN to TODAY! with Darryl Anka

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS: Bashar's STUNNING Message You Need To LISTEN to TODAY! with Darryl Anka

In the vast ocean of human experience, today's episode brings us the illuminating insights of Darryl Anka, a revered guest whose wisdom has consistently guided and inspired many. As we dive into this conversation, Darryl Anka explores the profound themes of passion, frequency, and the intricate interconnectedness that weaves through every aspect of our existence.Darryl Anka begins by sharing a fundamental truth: "If you don't act on your passion, your higher mind isn't going to send you any more opportunities to do so until you act on what it's already sent you." This statement underscores the importance of taking action on the guidance we receive from our higher selves.The higher mind communicates through feelings of excitement and passion, urging us to follow these signs as they lead us toward our true path. When we honor this guidance with action, we open ourselves to a continuous flow of opportunities and experiences that align with our deepest desires and highest good.The concept of frequency is another cornerstone of Darryl's message. He explains that everything in existence is about resonance and vibrational harmony. Telepathy, for instance, is not about reading someone else's mind but rather about harmonizing vibrational frequencies so that we share the same thoughts at the same time. This idea extends to our daily lives, suggesting that our experiences are a direct reflection of the frequencies we emit and align with.By raising our frequency through passion and joy, we can attract experiences that resonate with our true nature.In discussing ancient civilizations and the mysteries of structures like the pyramids, Darryl highlights the role of frequency and resonance in their construction. He suggests that understanding the frequency of objects can lead to profound capabilities, such as lifting massive stones through sound or other vibrational means. This knowledge, while ancient, remains relevant as we explore the potential of our own frequencies in creating and shaping our reality.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.
