The People’s History of John Leguizamo

“John Leguizamo ought to be a star,” Joshua Rivera writes, but to this day, “despite decades in Hollywood, John Leguizamo has to put on a show of his own to say anything he truly wants to say.” Leguizamo is going to keep telling his own story anyway — more and more vulnerably, “because you’ve gotta reach everybody” — by continuing his lifelong rewrite of so many revisionist histories that have left Latinx stories out of the spotlight.
