Article Abstract:

Actor, playwright, and comedian John Leguizamo was born in Colombia but grew up in a poor family in New York, N.Y. He has always had a desire to entertain, but felt he did not fit in through most of his childhood. After his parents divorced, he got into minor trouble but later took up acting on the advice of a math teacher. Acting gave him a goal and changed his life. He has appeared in more than 20 films.
