“John Leguizamo's made no secret about his troubled life. In fact, he made a semi-autobiographical one-man show about it called Freak that debuted on Broadway. Spike Lee was so taken with it, he turned it into a film. Since then, the man named "Most Talkative" in high school has gone on to perform in Moulin Rouge, Ice Age (and its sequels), and on the television show ER, where he played an emotionally disturbed doctor. With such a variety and breadth of accomplishments, it's no wonder the roster of those coming out to celebrate him reads like a mixtape of his life itself.”
Rozalia Jovanovic, Flavorpill
