04/30/2012 By 4 Comments

As part of the PBS Arts Festival, PBS will air an hour-long profile on actor/playwright, John Leguizamo that ”looks at his unorthodox rise to success while capturing his struggles to mount his latest one-man show, [Ghetto Klown]. From his Colombian and ‘NuyoRican’ roots to his high-profile career in Hollywood, Leguizamo bares his soul.”

 

The show will provide a behind- the-scenes look at John’s one-man-show, “Ghetto Klown,” which takes audiences ”from [Leguizamo's] adolescent memories in Queens to the early days of his acting career during the outrageous ’80s avant-garde theatre scene, and on to the sets of major motion pictures and his roles opposite some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.” It will air on July 13 at 9:00 p.m. EST on PBS stations.

    He harms and ghettoizes the Latino community almost exactly the same way George Lopez does, except he gets to be on Broadway type venues and is taken more seriously as of he was some brilliant actor. Some even have the cojones to say he is a “Shakespearean” actor. Jose Ferrer he is not!
