There was a recent video discussion on our Latino Slant Channel where Paulie commented on the recent statements from actor John Leguizamo. Leguizamo was on the podcast with David Spade and Dana Carvey. Here is the full talk.
Leguizamo talk about being humiliated by Hollywood in the early 1990’s. He further goes on to say there were no roles for Latins at that time which is why he took the role of a thief in the 1991 film, “Regarding Henry.” While we agree there were still stereotypical roles of Latinos, to say there were no roles is untrue. Paulie breaks it down.
