John Leguizamo says he once lost a role to a white actor because the director told him the movie couldn't 'have 2 Latin people' in it
"The Latino population is larger than the white population in California, and yet we are not represented accordingly. That is cultural apartheid,"
john - no one want to watch movie full of token. token actor are annoying. token have career in hollywood becuase you fill "we need token actor to fill this role" demand by affirmativ action. you are mediocre actor at best. you ruin executive decsions and casualties of war with your over acting.

What a shitty thing to tell someone. Latin people are Caucasian anyway, people started to invent them as a different race even though they have the same bone structure as us ‘white’ folk.

If he named the director and the film, then his claim would be credible.

The guy's mouth is stuffed full of pity dicks.
shareI think he's reaching a bit or he was trying to go for bigger roles which reduced his opportunities. This is why I respect guys like Danny Trejo. He works a lot. He's been in many movies and built a large fan base. John Leguizamo had many opportunities to build his fan base (especially after his awesome performance as Clown in Spawn). But while he petered out into fewer supporting roles, other guys embraced their fan Base and made themselves visible in movies with a wide range in budgets. Are they Hollywood royalty? Not necessarily. But they're a hit at conventions and making a good living.
