John simply does not get enough recognition for his role in Spun (2002)!

I also feel that way about his role as Tybalt in "Romeo + Juliet". When I bought up Tybalt; he smiled and said he had a lot of fun playing him.

Violator was peak Leguizamo

Followed closely by Luigi Mario

but really, he's pretty good at whatever character he's playing.

That movie really took me by surprise. I didn't know those two could put that much genuine emotion into a movie. I'd only seen them as comic actors.

If I had a friend like Martin in Chef, I wouldn't need any other friends. Loves working with you, knows what you are thinking, tells you hard truths, always has your back.

Leguizamo needs to reprise his role as Luigi in a sequel where he needs to rescue Mario

I'm going to stand by this until I die

My favorite role of his is Benny Blanco, from the Bronx, in Carlito's Way

Poor old Carlito. He almost made it.

I think that movie holds up better than Scarface, personally.

Scarface feels dated. Carlitos Way, being a period piece, aged better IMO

Just reading that movie title makes me want to use a Brillo pad in the shower.

Hijacking top to say his Netflix show is incredible. For someone with a certain reputation, John Leguizamo has amazing range, pathos, and heart, and he puts on one hell of a show. I remember watching some HBO show of his maybe 10 years ago and being blown away. Guy is seriously talented at one-man stage shows.

Literally my first thought seeing this picture was, "man he was so good in Spun." Such an underrated role.

A lot of great acting in that movie. I love Micky Rourke in that movie.
