John Leguizamo

John Leguizamo is a Colombian-American actor, comedian, and writer who turned his experience as a Latino outsider in show business into a series of acclaimed one-man Broadway shows, from Mambo Mouth to Latin History for Morons. A three-time Emmy winner and Tony recipient, he has written memoirs and published the scripts of those solo performances, work that mixes autobiography, cultural history, and stand-up. On the page as on stage, his subject is identity: what it costs, and what it’s worth, to insist on being seen.
