I met Luis when he first came to Vermont. I helped him carry a couch into his new house 😁 He autographed a picture for me, and couldn’t have been nicer. Top man
Went to Vermont on vacation last year, my favorite place I've been so far in my life. Absolutely wonderful state. Doesn't surprise me that Guzman has a place there. Nice taste
I freaked Luis Guzman out so bad one time in NYC. I was walking out of Bloomingdale's and he was walking south on the opposite street. I spotted him, caught up and from my side of the street, yelled as loud as I could..."Pachangaaaaa"....The look on his face when he turned around was priceless. He was spooked at first but then I yelled it again, not as loud--and he got it, laughed and waved.
Luis Guzman in Boogie Nights was awesome. The amount of talent in that movie is almost unmatched in any other film since it was made. It's a great film.
I was only 12 in 1976 so I saw the world through my much older brothers. Watching Boogie Nights was like a time warp. The cars, music, cloths, the way we connected with each other- the stash of VHS porn I found hidden in my brothers room. Long live Chest Rockwell and Brock Landers!
i knew i had to watch this movie..so glad i did because it shot straight up there as one of my all time favourite movies,i even bought a brand new rental copy on VHS the day it came out to rent (back then rental versions came out three months before you could buy a copy at the store) and it cost me £59,i loved it that much.. last week i paid £3:99 for a Prime copy
Met him years ago when i worked on an off broadway show when he did "Cuba and his Teddy Bear". Robert DeNiro, Burt Young and Ralph Macchio were in it...I was a stagehand, and Luis was the nicest most humble actor I've ever met....a true professional and a credit to the Acting world....he never forgot where he came from
I just saw Boogie Nights for the first time earlier this year and it was such a great movie, it really did capture that era in southern California. Luis Guzman is an asset to any production he's in too!
Carlito not taking his advice to finish off Benny from the Bronx still pisses me off. Carlito lost his respect & later his life because of that decision.
it's very highly-rated for an indie! Definitely not as underrated as you make it out: It was an ensemble cast!! It got nominated for everything! Burt won for best Supporting!
I love Guzman. The first movie I remember seeing him in was Anger Management. He was outstanding in Code Black and I was SO disappointed when that got canceled. For me I will always remember him for playing the roll of "mama".
"You know it be's that way sometimes papi." Edit: Just watched the video. Vigo is so underrated in Carlito's Way. Glad he mentioned him. He stole that scene.
I'm actually happy to see this guy doing well and he seems happy. People today seem to think celebs need to keep going forever until they burn out or die, but this guy seems very grateful for his big career and the severed head from Traffic is hilarious. I hope he lives a long time and is happy.
People like him, Joe Pesci, and other older actors who you dont see much anymore, are still LOADED!.. They made smart investments with their money, and most of them are still living great out of the publics view.
@@GeneralBuckNaked that's good. Too bad guys like Tom Brady and Will Smith didn't go do the same. It's almost like most celebs get sucked into this vicious cycle and then self destruct. God and family should always come first. I wish them the best. Keanu Reeves is another one who made it super rich yet lives modestly and appreciates people and has given like over 100 million to charity (real charity, even stuffing cash in donation bins and helping homeless and other folks). Keanu suffered profound loss in his life and I think it humbled him but he was already a good person to begin with.
Luis is one of the those rare actors that cause me to say, "I didn't know he was in this, this is gonna be great." That's what Luis Guzman brings to the table.
one of the great character actors of our time...people forget he was in the one and only season of "John from Cincinatti", which was VERY underrated and dismissed. Great cast, with Rebecca DeMorney. Bruce Greenwood, etc. And his most underrated movie has got to be "Q&A" with Nick Molte and Timothy Hutton.
He is very much like a Philip Seymour Hoffman RIP in regards to never being a lead but being a very memorable character in everything he is in. My personal favorite character and one of my favorite movies was when he was the line cook in Waiting. Till this day I try to reference "The Goat" or "Batwing" in some form at least once a week. Having worked in restaurants when I was young that movie represented the atmosphere of a commercial kitchen quite well and the bad behavior wasn't even that overly exerated.
@@nekitamol1k242 yes you are correct I should have worded it differently and not used the word "never" I just never had envisioned my words being interpreted in such a literal absolute Manor. Both of the incredibly talented actors careers have been compromised of predominantly very memorable supporting roles in countless major Hollywood films.
He’s 67. And I’m not (YET). But happy to say I grew up at the theater watching him from his first flick to his last. Now that I just read that back, I’m NOT happy. 😣
I love everythg he does. He is such an amazing actor that puts realism into what every project he is in. I am glad I ran into this video , i wish there were more interviews with this fine actor.. Luis needs to be recognized more for the roles has done. He has made so many iconic movies that now that I have watched this podcast I am going to rewatch.. the first one I think will be Boogie Nights , that one was pretty risky for the screen when I first saw it. It was exactly like the time period tho. I remember wearing the clothes, saying the same type of slang and wordings . Again this interview brought back so many movie memories, but sadly I WISH it had been much longer. The host of the podcast did pretty good with the questions, but again you need to follow up with a Part 2 as i know not just myself but other movie viewers would love to hear more stories from Luis..
This guy is something...men he is so talented 👏 he can do it all, camedy drama, action been the good guy, the bad guy and he is so down to earth 🌎 God keep blessing him and all his family, esoo ehhh 😁
I grew up in Vermont and met him YEEEARS ago as a teen...he was super friendly and didn't seem bothered me and my buddies recognized him and wanted to say hi in Montpelier.
my favorite movie that he's in is called "welcome to collinwood" from 2002. man that's a great comedy and really a gem that not too many people seem to have seen. so if you can go see it!
A truly fantastic actor and good man how good his he in Carlitos Way and The Count of Monte Cristo too also likable humble and funny I am a big fan of his very talented

Met him a few times super nice guy
He kills it in everything I've seen him in, great actor.
Absolutely
The real deal !
Including shopping. Saw him in a TJ Maxx department store a few days before Christmas in South Burlington, Vermont. His cart was maxed out...
He was the best part of the movie Waiting.....
He knocked the role of a Shooter Boy out of the park.
He made “Waiting” so much better than it could have ever been without him. “Now take the time to appreciate this” 😂😂😂
As someone who worked in restaurants in the 80's 'Waiting 'is the most under rated food service movies of all time. A masterpiece
“The GOAT”
"Aw bro that aint right man." "Oh it"s so veeiiny."
5 second rule!
The Bat 🦇
Luis Guzman is like a Puerto Rican Joe Pesci. He's got a smaller stature and can bring the comedy and drama within the same scene.
Fur Q
I love how he says "I did not know that was Al" like he was testifying in court.
That’s a good comparison.
And talks like Mike Tyson.
One of the all time great character actors.Never disappoints in any of his roles.Some people just make a movie better.
Guzman is legend. HE was also great in his brief role as an escaped felon in "Out of Sight" with George Clooney.
I love that he's held down at gunpoint, about to go back to prison, and he's still trying to figure out how a magic trick was done :D
@@Dentarthurdent99 YES! it's a great film with a mix of humor and drama.
Thats one of only two times that I found Jennifer Lopez tolerable.
@@ShmuckOnWheels Probably JLo's best film project.
@@Dentarthurdent99 "Fake legs? Mira, what you mean fake legs"?

"It be's like that sometimes, Papi"
how would you respond if someone yelled at your back, DANCE!!! or LETS PARTY!!! lmfao. he probably thought someone was about to jump off!😆
I’ve always loved Luis Guzman. I’ll watch anything just because he’s in it.
His best line ever is from Traffic…Shh, I think they’re conspiring to conspire. Classic. 😂
classsssssssic film.
Rick Aviles who played Willie in Ghost was in Carlito's Way. He was in the pool hall scene.
I was just about to mention that fact. So they were both in Carlito's Way!!!
This is one of those guys who’s been in everything and has worked with every actor imaginable.
With Nick Nolte in Q&A.
And Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Last Stand
Luis Guzman in Boogie Nights was awesome. The amount of talent in that movie is almost unmatched in any other film since it was made. It's a great film.
@Reality Check cringe
If anything is cringe, it's trying to make yourself seem superior by replyingto RUclips comments with "cringe". Yeesh. Saddest thing ever.
@@susieusmaximus5330 They've literally commented that more than once under this videos comment section; it's really lame 🙄
The Count of Monte Cristo was a fabulous movie
I was only 12 in 1976 so I saw the world through my much older brothers. Watching Boogie Nights was like a time warp. The cars, music, cloths, the way we connected with each other- the stash of VHS porn I found hidden in my brothers room.
Long live Chest Rockwell and Brock Landers!
Have you seen his statue at greendale community college? Luis is the goat and also Mitch showed him the goat!! lol
I bet you would dig Dazed & Confused by Richard Linklater
"Great names."
To think I thought I was the only one who even heard of the movie Boogie Nights. I watched that movie in middle school!
i knew i had to watch this movie..so glad i did because it shot straight up there as one of my all time favourite movies,i even bought a brand new rental copy on VHS the day it came out to rent (back then rental versions came out three months before you could buy a copy at the store) and it cost me £59,i loved it that much.. last week i paid £3:99 for a Prime copy
FANTASTIC actor! He improves every project he's in. Solid actor.
This dude is a LEGEND. Iconic!!!!
This is exactly how I would hope Luis Guzman would be in interviews.
"Dude, they gonna let you make this movie???" Hahahahahaha! 😂 Legend.
This dude always impresses. He elevates projects he's in.
He was unbelievably underrated in Ghost and did one of the best villain performance to be ever recorded in films! Respect to the talented Mr. Guzman
but that wasn't him. It was Rick Aviles
Luis Guzman didn’t play Willy Lopez lol. That was Rick Aviles, different Puerto Rican actor. People thought he did.
The Limey…loved his role in that!
He is by far my favorite character actor. My favorite roll he played was in the Count of Monte Cristo. A very under rated movie
You are my man
Met him years ago when i worked on an off broadway show when he did "Cuba and his Teddy Bear". Robert DeNiro, Burt Young and Ralph Macchio were in it...I was a stagehand, and Luis was the nicest most humble actor I've ever met....a true professional and a credit to the Acting world....he never forgot where he came from
Luis is an actor that if i ever see pop up in a movie I’m like “that’s me done for the next hour or two”. Love and respect him and his body of work
I just saw Boogie Nights for the first time earlier this year and it was such a great movie, it really did capture that era in southern California. Luis Guzman is an asset to any production he's in too!
Carlito's Way and Boogie Nights, that's it! If he didn't do anything else, you could live and die by those two films.
Carlito not taking his advice to finish off Benny from the Bronx still pisses me off. Carlito lost his respect & later his life because of that decision.
@@sunnyside9273absolutely
Carlitos way is the one it stands alone
Boogie Nights is one of the most underrated movies of all-time. If you haven't seen it yet download it immediately.
it's very highly-rated for an indie!
Definitely not as underrated as you make it out:
It was an ensemble cast!!
It got nominated for everything!
Burt won for best Supporting!
@@pretzelhunt For an Indie movie yes it is well rated. Mass population have not seen it and they should. So I consider it underrated also.
It was cool. Settle down..
Marky Mark wore underwear for a year to show his dick in a film. Now think about your comment.
@pretzelhunt Burt was nominated for Boogie Nights but lost to Robin Williams for Good Will Hunting. Tough year.
I love Guzman. The first movie I remember seeing him in was Anger Management. He was outstanding in Code Black and I was SO disappointed when that got canceled. For me I will always remember him for playing the roll of "mama".
That was Vicki Lawrence.
"You know it be's that way sometimes papi."
Edit: Just watched the video. Vigo is so underrated in Carlito's Way. Glad he mentioned him. He stole that scene.
I love him in Q&A. He plays a great detective.

A fantastic actor who brings so much to every role. So glad he made it. Love that he lives in Vermont.
Yeah he's a badass
So good to see Luis in the finale of Justified: City Primevel with Walton Goggins. Small part, but huge actor.
Luis Guzman and Catherine Zeta both came out in Traffic. Great film and great performances by both!
Pride of the Lower East Side. Loved him since House of Buggin
These are the best segments of Rich’s show!!
Luis is one of the those rare actors that cause me to say, "I didn't know he was in this, this is gonna be great." That's what Luis Guzman brings to the table.
An incredible actor with a ridiculously impressive resume, one of my faves is “The Limey”.
Loved him in Ghost
Loved him in godfather 3 as well ;)
No way Machete was his best role! 😂
Guzman is such a Legend..all the rolls he has done....always spot on. Love this guy.
Not only does Luis Guzman get mistaken for Willie Lopez in "Ghost," but in this clip he sounds like Mike Tyson 🥊
Luis for a time was in everything ! A first class character actor and able to sell his roles magnificently.
He was amazing in Out Of Sight. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Luis Guzman! I loved him in IMDB!
I was scrolling looking for the Community reference - Thank you!
So underrated. I've always loved him. He was amazing in Narcos México.
he was gatcha in narcos first season with pablo
one of the great character actors of our time...people forget he was in the one and only season of "John from Cincinatti", which was VERY underrated and dismissed. Great cast, with Rebecca DeMorney. Bruce Greenwood, etc. And his most underrated movie has got to be "Q&A" with Nick Molte and Timothy Hutton.
He is a very underrepresented actor, I cant think of 1 bad movie he's been in, he is great in Godfather of Harlem too
Luis is a Hollywood legend. Love his work.
@Reality Check:Lol… Your mom was Harvey Weinstein’s secretary
@Reality Check cringe
Dude is just naturally hilarious.
Boogie Nights DVD extra content is awesome. Luis is in a lot of it, hilarious stuff.
This guy is one of the hardest working actors in Hollywood. He's done so many movies
@Reality Check cringe
Oh yeah, why don’t you enlighten me Einstein.
“It be’s that way sometimes, papi.” Classic old skool street.
Dude's a Legend in Cinema. Can't count the great film's he's in.
Willy Lopez in Ghost was played by Rick aviles, who also played a role in Carlitos way with Luis Guzman and Al Pacino
To be clear, he was excellent in ghost.
Besides pachanga, my 2nd favorite luis guzman character was the one in Waiting, OMG, he had me in stitches 😂😂
Joplin t shirt too. Legend.
Luis’ comedic genius is so underrated.
Terrific actor. I miss seeing him appear on the big screen.
He is very much like a Philip Seymour Hoffman RIP in regards to never being a lead but being a very memorable character in everything he is in.

Luis was convincing in Q&A interrogating Bobby Tex who was played by Armand Assante.
He’s 67. And I’m not (YET). But happy to say I grew up at the theater watching him from his first flick to his last. Now that I just read that back, I’m NOT happy. 😣
This is one of Rich's funniest interviews! Thanks, Luis, you're a gem!

He's a much-loved figure here in Vermont. Such a nice guy, and one of the best celebrities that live here 💚
Now Mike Myers on the other hand...
One of my favorite character actors always great
Fantastic Actor. Both Intense, and absolutely Hilarious.
This guy is something...men he is so talented 👏 he can do it all, camedy drama, action been the good guy, the bad guy and he is so down to earth 🌎 God keep blessing him and all his family, esoo ehhh 😁
Louis scenes with Don Cheadle in Traffic were great; especially the surveillance van sequences.
I grew up in Vermont and met him YEEEARS ago as a teen...he was super friendly and didn't seem bothered me and my buddies recognized him and wanted to say hi in Montpelier.
Luis steals every scene in the comedy Waiting with Ryan Reynolds.
An underappreciated actor. Kills every role he does.
"It beez that way sometimes papi..." I love this dude!!
Ah man. I just quoted this exact line too. It just always pops into my head. Not what he says before or what Benny says after. Just that one line. Lol
Luis Guzman has been in so many great movies, he is very humble and so good as an actor!
Great Interview Loved him in Taking Pelham 123
good actor always glad to see his credit.
His role in Confidence...was GOLD.....
I loved him in Count of Monte Cristo!!
underrated performance in Yes Man
Guzman is the best! One of my favorite actors!
good interview
Great character on Oz and wonderful in the film Traffic.
Great interview!
First thing I saw him in was Carlito's Way. He was brilliant as Pachenga
The limey, yeah another gem.
This guy is an underrated actor. He is very talented.
He had me at Jacopo! He was super in that role!
How great would it be to run it to Luis, hand him a nickel and tell him you loved him in Ghost?
A must watch in anything he does🔥🔥
I knew his momma…tough lady. No nonsense. Very respected.
Count Of Monte Cristo has to be my favourite film with him. Looks like he had a lot of fun.
Great actor. Really. Not a big star but nails the part everytime
my favorite movie that he's in is called "welcome to collinwood" from 2002. man that's a great comedy and really a gem that not too many people seem to have seen. so if you can go see it!
At least someone's got great taste..thank the lord.
Luis is that actor we all know yet we can never remember his name.
I love carlito's way!
A truly fantastic actor and good man how good his he in Carlitos Way and The Count of Monte Cristo too also likable humble and funny I am a big fan of his very talented
Luiz you are up there with the best!
Jacapo! Just about to watch...hope you got something from his time on The Count of Monte Cristo. He was great in that awesome flick as well.
He was excellent in Count of Montecristo..great movie
That prop head shit's legit, saw it outside the comedy store one time.
