Interview: JohnLeguizamo on Finding Redemption in Violent Night
Super Mario Bros.
There’s a lot of comedy here and some great Christmas puns. How was getting to flex your improv skills? It seemed like everybody was having a blast with all the dialogue. Wow … you know, he is 6’3. He gained all that weight for Santa, so I guess he might have been close to 300 pounds. You know, I was worried, I’m not going to lie, but I trained extra. I went there an extra month early, trained every weekend, and then trained with David. I was afraid, because he is big. But I was quick and I had my moves and I told him to make me look quick and cool so it’d look believable that this little guy is fighting that big guy and that I could possibly win.
20 years ago, you were in the 2003 video game Rayman 3, where you voiced Globox. Do you have any memories of participating in that? You have some great lines in that game. You’re on a really great run here. Not only Violent Night, but The Menu was so great. Your character in that was a washed-up actor, but you’re doing some of the best work of your career. You’re finding these interesting roles. So how have you managed to keep up that momentum so many decades into your career?
It’s very important to me because I feel like as a Latin man in America, we get a raw deal. We contribute $2.8 trillion to the US economy. If we were our own country, it’d be the fourth largest country in the world, bigger than London, bigger than most European countries — and that’s just Latinos in the U.S. We’re less than 4% of the leads in all media, but we’re 30% of the box office, $4 billion in streaming.
