John Leguizamo: 1964-2013


It appears that in the wake of the death of Paul Walker, there was a death in Hollywood that went sadly overlooked.  Media reports started trickling out Tuesday about the death of a long established and well respected actor, comedian, voice actor, producer and screenwriter.  While the few reports that came out focused on Mr. Leguizamo's role as the iconic video game sidekick Luigi in the much maligned Super Mario Bros. movie, this dynamic artist's work also included roles that showed his true range as an actor.  From To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar to Romeo + Juliet, from Freak to Ghetto Klown, from Spawn to Land of the Dead and Moulin Rouge!, Mr. Leguizamo's work represents a true cornucopia of what Hollywood has to offer.  John Leguizamo, dead at the age of 49.  Mr. Leguizamo is survived by his wife, two children, and legion of ardent fans.
