Benny Blanco from the Bronx, Vinny who betrayed Ritchie from Summer of Sam, and Clown from Spawn...John Leguizamo awesome underrated actor!
Charlie Luciano i really hated this fucker for betraying richie tringale
wow summer of sam it came out when we thought the world was ending
You forgot the pest! Best role, lol
Damn he betrayed someone in "Summer of Sam", too. I just watched Carlito's Way; this man must always be playing betrayers
John Wick.
"You stole John Wick's Car".
John Leguizamo is one of the best entertainers of all time......, he has MAD Talent!
since 1992
Extremely underrated. Love this brotha

Remember me?! Benny Blanco from the Bronx. Classic line 👌
@Rich8927 I remember watching the movie Carlito got killed by him I was like Remake See another one.
Johnny Legs...I was an extra for "Carlito's Way" and I remember hating the guy until one morning he actually invited me and my cousin, who was also an extra, to breakfast.
Coolest guy EVER.
So all it takes to change your mind is food? Because same 👌🏻
Remember him: Benny Blanco from the Bronx.
Why u hate him initially
@@broman7271 It was said in the interview: John was there to steal the movie, kept "ruining" takes by doing improv, making the day longer than it needed to be.
@@hughtube5154 the director encouraged him to improvise
the most underrated character actor of our time ....
***** Agreed. John is a very talented man and Hollywood is too stupid to realize that.
***** He is no A grade actor, he is decent.
blackstersherron He is far from decent. Have you even seen his body of work?
John is a great actor, and I'm surprised many people don't even know who he is. He has a certain charisma you just can't fake.
BoomShakaLaka Thank you, my thoughts exactly.
I've heard John Leguizamo interviewed several times over the years, he is on my Mount Rushmore of interesting storytellers. Right up there with Mike Tyson, Joe Rogan, Joey Diaz, Charlie Murphy, and Henry Rollins. These guys have really LIVED.
he had a sketch comedy show on fox in the early 90's called "House of Bugging". i think it only lasted 1 season, but the shit was funny as hell.
I watched it.
Yeah and it turned into mad tv
It was dope af
@@steviegotjokes2323 In living color not mad tv I believe
@@Theophilus1st nah in living color stayed in living color , house of buggin was first then they took it from leguizamo changed the name and made it mad tv
john is top-tier talent/actor. I first saw him in movie empire and then i saw him in the 80's show Miami Vice.
John Leguizamo an OG
+Westendbuddah hahahahaha yeah
Facts
1st time I was actually introduced to John was empire .. Then I found out He was actually a comedian .. Dude is real
"Do you know who this man is? This man here is the JP Morgan of the smack business"
Kay Klas "1st time i ever heard that"
Kay Klas
i seen that movie for the first time last week... i watched it like three times since.... you dont know how awesome this comment is to me
"Oh just 2 minutes Mr Brigante, that's all"
"You over man; you in the history books that's what you are so you know what, you better kill me now cause if I ever see you again Ima fucking kill you".
John Leguizamo is one of my most favorite comedian/actor. I watch his comedy specials whenever they're on. John and Al Pacino signed my science homework in high school. Pointed me out for it. "A+++" he wrote. The real "A" didn't matter.
minishking1 Great story yo! That's supa dope!!
It's amazing how people can act in comedies & dramas very very well, like being able to balance being a comedic actor and a dramatic actor very well that's talent
Great fun interview. Leguizamo is a huge creative talent whether certain individuals want to acknowledge him or not.
The Pest is one of my favorite movies
Kevin Bell My man!!!! That's my shit lolol
My favorite movie
I was one of the 5 people who saw it on the movie theaters.
fuck off normie
I LIIIIIKKKE TOOO!!!! party with my peeps cruise and creep
I watch John Leguizamo interviews because he always spills the beans about the “drama” behind the scenes😂 the guys been everywhere 😂 it’s awesome!
Remember me, Benny Blanco from the Bronx.....
John Leguizamo is one of my fave entertainers 🤗
He seems like the most fun and the most annoying person to work with 😂😂😂
mad underrated
This was an unexpectedly funny interview! John is an 90s OG
John definitely KILT it as Benny Blanco -- love that Pacino wasn't even the director but was screaming "CUT" LMFAO
leguizamo = legend
I wish he'd get more shine today though. Same with Cedric The Entertainer
He was great in Empire movie and in Carlito’s Way Benny Blanco from the Bronx’s!!!
John is my dude! Growing up as an Asian American kid in the 90s I'd never seen anyone who looked like me on American TV. John Leguizamo was the closest thing to looking like me so he was very inspirational to me.
Ps. I should've never watched House of Buggin' and the Pest as a kid. I'd probably be a sane person these days had I didn't hahahaha no regrets.
John was great in "Summer of Sam".
If it wasn't for Super Mario Bros. I wouldn't never been a fan so quick.
He never ages
"Naw, you stay here.. " - Benny Blanco!
He blew up J.Lo and Clooney's spot.....that wasn't public info
John saved the interview from being a disaster. If it would have been a more quiet guest, this would be a tough interview
Loved his role in Empire and his one man Broadway show was pretty creative and dope
Which one?
Man I love John, this guy is mad cool and mad mature at the same time. Dude, God Bless.
dude is mad funny
💨💨”You over man!” - Benny Blanco from the Bronx meant every word.
Big Facts 💪🏾🦍😤 he applied pressure “You in the Fuckin history books” -Benny Blanco 💨🔫💯
Man I still can't stand this dude cuz he played Benny Blanco from the Bronx!! I don't know why I just do lmao!
Benny Blanco 💯
His part in "Moulin Rouge", playing Henri de Toulouse Lautrec was amazing!
The best comic/actors (in no order) have to be: Robin Williams, Jim Carey, John Leguizamo. And Mike Epps is stepping his acting chops up too. Hope he gets that Richard Pryor biopic.
Michael Jones bro dont forget george carlin he mostly became a preacher of wisdom at the end of his career
Michael Jones you’re forgetting Pryor.. Williams stole all his material never was original
Crazy..that's the same list I have. Til this day man.
Remember me Benny Blanco from the Bronx
Chi Chi! ..."P to the R to the I to the ncess"🤣💀☠️
Love John very talented actor.
I love this man!
🕺🏾I Grew Up On This Guy Right Here😃My Favorite Movies From Him Was Empire N Pest!!!!!😄
I saw one of John's live performances in NYC. He talked Carlito's Way and being on set with Al Pacino and how Al was like, "John! What the F*ck!?" It was hysterical. John puts on a great one-man show.
Seeing Heather B and John Leguizamo, both ‘90s legends, is everything.
I would love to travel to LA and actually work with him in a film or TV series. I am a huge fan of John Leguizamo's work
Glad to hear John mention "Hanging with the Homeboyz", it's an underrated gem that in my opinion is Leguizamo best performance, along with "Causalities of War".
This guy sets the pace for John Wick. He's the real MVP of that movie
"Carlito's Way", "Pest", "Empire", as well as his standup/monologues "Freak", & Sexaholics" are all classics
Violeytor whas the Best evil clown!!
if anyone gets a chance, look up john's movie "where god left his shoes", thats the role that really convinced me leguizamo is one of the greatest
became a fan when I seen the movie The Pest when I was younger shit was great lol and upload Mike Rap interview
bobby light Bro The Pest is amazing seriously, that movie was like my childhood lol
"D..E...D, dead" -John (clown from spawn)
My fav actor
John, one of my all time favorites and undeniably a Newyorican through and through
House of Buggin' needs to come back!!
Big Fan of His work in Empire 2002!
I simply adore John Leguizamo❤❤❤❤
I love how John pronounces his real last name the right way....Such a nice, distinct surname!!!
Did you see him dancing with Kelly Ripa Consuelos!!!! Wowza!!!

Loved him in the movie "Pest". Find it and watch it now.
The Pest is my shit and his scene with Martin Lawrence pretending to be Arabian in What's The Worst That Could Happen is one of my favorite scenes.
The Pest... and John Leguizamo are so underrated
13:00 Pacino story. You're welcome.
"Hey Mr. Brigante that's the second time you turn me down for a drink, whatsda matter you don't like my champagne?".
YEA!!! SID THE SLOTH!!!! LOVE HIM!!!! FROM ICE AGE!!!! MY BOO!!
That was actually the right attitude for Benny. He wanted to take over. Ego out of control.
Oh by the way people sometimes tell me about this "epic movie called THE JERK" and everytime they say that I say "i didn't see the jerk but there's is a legendary movie with John L. called the pest and I watched it when I was a kid and 15 years later its so memorable that I'm still talking about it"
John was good inventing stuff, his Benny Blanco from the Bronx made a legend.
One the greatest actors ever! HUGE fan! Excellent director too!

Benny Blanco from the Bronx.. classic..
Hollywood fucked up,this dude is hella talented!
