Nick Barili visits John Leguizamo at his home in New York. John talks about his journey from troublemaker to trailblazer. The painful realization that he didn’t have access to the same kinds of roles as his white peers was what lead him to become the writer of Freak, Mambo Mouth, and Latin History for Morons. Their candid conversation covers tokenism, colorism, Hamilton, and what’s left for him to accomplish.
Welcome to #AcademySeen, a new series featuring Nick Barili that deep dives into the stories of artists with Latin American and Spanish roots exploring their craft, culture and breaking down barriers in filmmaking. The first episodes will feature John Leguizamo, Edward James Olmos, and Eva Longoria.

Thank you so much for this. I have been a fan of John’s since the beginning. He’s brilliant, talented, funny, and has always done his part to inspire the Latinx community. It doesn’t get any better than this. John deserves a Lifetime Achievement Award! I see you. And I thank you. Thank you John and Nick! 🙏🏽🤍

Please stop it with this "Latinx" nonsense. You are either Latino or Latina. Its sad to see the negative influence that the Marxist political agenda is having in the community.

@@gregvergara7596 but seriously, it's clear that it was not a Latin person who came up with Latinx. There are so many other mostly natural gender neutral sounding conjugations of latino/a but latinx is not one and has no similarity to other Spanish words.

Someone had to say it, and I appreciate that John had the courage to do so. He has paved the way for so many Latinos and BIPOC in the entertainment industry, and continues to do, by speaking truth to power. Great interview!

I love that you did this interview. John Leguizamo was right on point. I want to see 20% people of color in every movie and show! I want to see more dark skinned persons of color so that my dark skinned half Filipino and half Salvadoran kids see people that look like them. Great interview!

I really hope this piece means the academy is going to vote “Dos Oruguitas” Best Song, and make Lin Manuel Miranda an EGOT like he should be. He’s had it coming for YEARS, he’s been nominated several times, please don’t “Leo DiCaprio” him and force a win via public outcry after a decade of him constantly being nominated and constantly losing. Lin deserves it, Latinx deserves it, let’s acknowledge it now. Please give him the Oscar.

I remember seeing John Leguizamo on HBO in Spic-o-rama, classic. Then, I loved him as Benny Blanco from the Bronx. Recently, I loved his Latin History for Morons. John is a genius and is not given the mad props he deserves.

@janeenap365 2 жыл бұрын

This was amazing to watch and listen to. It’s great to know that we as a Latinx collective keep pushing for what we know is a better tomorrow in multimedia because it largely affects how the world and ourselves view and interact with Latinos as global citizens. We are much more than settling for a second class narrative🤞🏽 que sigue pa lante!

I grew up in the early 90's in Queens, NY. John has always been my idol. John always been like a big crazy brother to me for me and my community. He had this sketch show called house of bugging back in the days that was mad funny. Always made me feel proud of being Latin. P.S. I still rock with The Mario Bros. movie. Much power to you John.

I never met any Southerner who treated me like Hollyweird has done John and other skin tones. They hold control over what people watch.
