He's a super underrated actor.

[@Chris-D9]

Absolutely, most people say certain people are under-rated that doesn't make sense...but John Leguizamo is definitely the most under-rated actor. He's played so many different characters

[@Wood-In-My-Eye]

And has done So Much for the Latino Community!! So much! He’s awesome!

[@rabbit251]

I will always remember John for Spawn. He carried that whole movie. The other lead actor was so fake it so sad, but John saved the movie with his performance. That was really true talent!!!

[@ShawnLH88]

Michael jai white ? Are you nuts ?

[@simonmalm7432]

Trippen

[@GeorgeStarkes]

Maybe the other lead villain actor guy, but not Michael Jai White. He's a legend as well.

[@Strawberries_97]

Yassssss king!! I am so proud you are representing our Latin/Hispanic American community. Very talented 👏 thank you Jimmy for a great interview!! 💜💜

[@timmyclary0122]

This man voices Sid from the Ice Age movies, his character is funniest one in the herd!

[@jlbueno0611]

The menú is one of the best movies as of late , a true masterpiece in writing and performances . White a light and simple concept, but also layered in complexity suspense and depth . A really enjoyabñe film that makes you think and reflect.

[@AsadDelRey]

My favorite film of 2022

[@AsadDelRey]

The menu is my favorite movie of 2022. He was great in Violent Night, John Wick, and everything else.

[@Major42]

It sucks. Brilliant actor though.

[@AsadDelRey]

@@Major42 you suck

[@Major42]

@@AsadDelRey Lol.. Wtf. My opinion and I don't think it was a good movie.

[@AsadDelRey]

@@Major42 next time just say “i think it sucks.” I thought you were a troll.

[@AsadDelRey]

@@Major42 just curious what is your favorite movie of 2022?

[@TK-yh4hn]

His first tv stand up made me laugh so hard I was howling!! He is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂💜

[@DaneBryantFrazier]

This was a perfect opportunity to ask John about being part of one of the last cohorts with Meisner. I wish John Leguizamo would be invited to a Hollywood Roundtable circle interview

[@victorciobotaru1636]

[@Lil-Britches]

Benny Blanco from The Bronx

[@davidparsons3432]

'Peace...I hate the word"........

[@FUB666]

He scares me, does this mean you all are going to be persistent and annoying to everyone the way black people are? Forcing your culture on everyone wether they want you to or not? No thank you. We can put you in to that pushy annoying catagory if you insist. I’m the first Hispanic to do this, I’m the first Hispanic to do that…… It’s like going to pick food up at the drive thru and the worker every time you go there keeps pushing items on you that you never intended on buying. It gets unnecessarily wordy for the next few minutes and neither of us are gaining anything. Some of the best reasons we like your race, you’re beautiful, hardworking, talented, make awesome food and you don’t push your race on other people. Your race and culture has been out there all my life, whatever I seen and liked I incorporated it in my life already. Pushing breeds resentment, it does not build bridges. I just want to pick up what I want, pay for it and get on with my day. We are already overly informed about everything, every minute of everyday.

[@orlandoramos7736]

Carlitos way & empire Benny blanco from da Bronx 🔥❤️🦾😉💪🏼😎🙏🏽

[@WongFei-g5f]

[@blessingsoutlaw]

Hmm…love you John, but Native Americans are the oldest ethnic group in America. 🙏

[@justling7]

[@vids595]

Wouldn't he oldest ethic group be Native Americans?

[@chenieves8976]
