Just to clear the air, I'm actually from the Bronx as well as half hispanic so when I say NYRican, it's a term of endearment because well, he's from both the island and city and he's been defined by that for most of his career. That shit isn't derogatory but it is what it is, I've never seen him act in a very over the top way that the part may require.

His one-man shows and impressions were masterclass so yes, definitely. Also I probably know where you're going with that choice, but John's also had a more varied character acting career.

And Guzman is a trained theater actor as well. He's not some "NYRICAN street guy" as you so eloquently put it.
It's not Guzman's fault that the only roles for Latin actors we he came up have been drug dealers, rapists, gang members, etc...

John Leguizamo is only 4 years older than Raul when Raul did it.
What do you think?
