John Leguizamo stopped by NBC's TODAY to talk about "Meadowland," a serious new drama about child kidnapping. The actor also talks about "Ghetto Clown," the new graphic novel adaptation of one of his acclaimed one-man stage shows. Check out the appearance below!
GHETTO KLOWN was the next chapter in John Leguizamo's popular personal and professional story. It marked his fifth one man play, his third on Broadway, and follows in the uninhibited tradition of his Mambo Mouth, Spic-O-Rama, Freak, and Sexaholix...a Love Story.
In Leguizamo's trademark style, the piece explodes with energy, heating up the stage with vivid accounts of the colorful characters who have populated his life. He takes audiences from his adolescent memories in Queens to the early days of his acting career and on to the sets of major motion pictures and his roles opposite some of Hollywood's biggest stars.
Conceived and performed by Emmy and Obie Award winner John Leguizamo and directed by Academy Award winner Fisher Stevens, GHETTO KLOWN was presented by Westbeth Entertainment, Daveed D. Frazier and Nelle Nugent.
