The Creek and The Cave presents: John Leguizamo
John Leguizamo takes the stage at The Creek and The Cave...
A multi-faceted performer and Emmy Award winner, John Leguizamo has established a career that defies categorization. With boundless and visceral creativity, his work in film, theatre, television, and literature covers a variety of genres, continually threatening to create a few of its own.
This year, Leguizamo completed production on three back-to-back films: Universal Pictures' The Nest, opposite Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, the Lionsgate action comedy, American Ultra, with Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart, and Atlas Independent's The Man on Carrion Road, opposite Patrick Wilson and Jim Belushi.
Leguizamo most recently starred alongside writer/director Jon Favreau in the Open Road feature, Chef, and in Universal Pictures' breakout comedy hit Ride Along, opposite Ice Cube and Kevin Hart.
In March, Leguizamo debuted his 5th HBO solo special, Ghetto Klown, an adaptation of his Drama Desk Award-winning one-man stage show of the same name. Leguizamo will also perform Ghetto Klown for New York's Central Park's Summerstage 2014 in July. Tales from a Ghetto Klown, which featured a behind-the-scenes look at the production, most recently aired on PBS as a part of its Summer Arts Festival.
In 2013, Leguizamo completed production on Cymbeline, a modern-day take on William Shakespeare's play, as well as Stealing Cars, starring William H. Macy. He also starred in Fugly, opposite Rosie Perez and Rhada Mitchell, which he also wrote and produced. Fugly follows Leguizamo's character, a New York comedian, whose near death experience forces him to make difficult life choices.
In 2011, Leguizamo returned to Broadway with his new solo play, Ghetto Klown, the next chapter in his hugely popular personal and professional story. Directed by Academy Award winner Fisher Stevens, Ghetto Klown follows in the unabashed, uncensored, and uninhibited tradition of Leguizamo's Mambo Mouth, Spic-O-Rama, Freak, and Sexaholix a Love Story.
Other film credits include Walking with Dinosaurs, The Counselor, Kick Ass 2, Love in the Vanishing on 7th Street, The Lincoln Lawyer, the Ice Age franchise, Love in Time of Cholera, The Happening, Righteous Kill, The Babysitters, The Take and Where God Left His Shoes. In addition, Leguizamo has led his talents to a slew of other films including Miracle at St. Anna, Land of the Dead, Assault on Precinct 13, Sueno, Spun, Summer of Sam, King of the Jungle, Spawn, William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, Dr. Doolittle, Carlito's Way, and Casualties of War.
For his performance as a sensitive drag queen in Too Wong Foo: Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar, Leguizamo garnered a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Leguizamo also picked up ALMA Award nominations for his roles in Moulin Rouge (Best Supporting Actor) and King of the Jungle (Best Lead Actor). He was the recipient of the 2002 ALMA Award for Entertainer of the Year.
