John Leguizamo is a Colombian and American comedian, actor and filmmaker.

He studied theater at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts but left to pursue stand-up comedy.
He played Luigi Mario in Super Mario Bros. in 1993, the same year he appeared in Carlito's Way, and earned a Golden Globe nomination for To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar in 1995. In 1998 his HBO special Freak won him a Primetime Emmy Award, making him the first Latino to win in that category, and in 2018 he received a Special Tony Award for his body of theater work.
How John Leguizamo makes his money
His income comes from many places. Film roles run through Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, Land of the Dead, John Wick and The Menu, and a performer who takes parts of every size can build a long list of credits that each pay a fee.
Voice acting is a second steady source. He has voiced Sid the Sloth in the Ice Age franchise since 2002 and Bruno Madrigal in Encanto in 2021, and animated franchises usually bring repeat fees and residuals over many years.
He also writes and performs his own material. He has received four Tony Award nominations for Broadway shows he wrote and performed, including Freak, Sexaholix and Latin History for Morons. On television, he earned Emmy nominations for Waco in 2018 and When They See Us in 2019, and he hosted Leguizamo Does America in 2023 and American Historia in 2024.
