This month on WGBH, Great Performances presents John Leguizamo's Road to Broadway. Documenting his rise from stand-up comedian and actor to pop-historian of Latino culture, Road to Broadway features interviews with Rita Morena, Ethan Hawke and Mark Ruffalo. Co-produced by PBS and VOCES, Road to Broadway covers Leguizamo's creative process, instilled with the humor and candid personal stories that have made him unique in entertainment.
In this 2002 episode of La Plaza: Conversations with Ilan Stavans, produced at WGBH, Leguizamo discusses how he puts together a stand-up show, his immigration to the US, and what he looks for in a role.
Great Performances: John Leguizamo's Road to Broadway premieres on Friday, November 16 at 9pm.
