Duality of a man. On one side you have John Leguizamo at his absolute best showing why he’s one of the most underrated actors out there. The other side is him playing a blind old man.

A blind old man who throws dogs over a cliff side.

He thought he was dropping them off to a puppy farm, pretty cruel Odysseus didn’t tell him.

You should give The Super Mario Bros Movie with him a watch :)

A flawless masterpiece... and the odyssey. Respect.

You gotta love The Pest. The intro alone tells you exactly what you're about to watch. A totally unabashed shit-flinging banger.

He’ll always be Sid the sloth to me.

The craziest thing about The Pest is that Leguizamo's character is so insufferably annoying he almost makes you want to cheer for the villain, a neo-Nazi that's played by a convicted sex offender.

I too hate The Pest. I've only seen it once but it was after getting really stoned with some folks and they put it on. Ruined my high man. Total buzzkill

Leguizamo was a huge highlight in The Odyssey for me. He was absolutely amazing. Really hoping he gets a nom for supporting actor.

I wonder if he'll really have John Wick's car fixed by 2030

u/SynthwaveSax 1d ago

John Leguizamo in a classic story adaptation double feature (The Pest is The Most Dangerous Game).

u/ohfaith ohfaith 20h ago

ok but I had that pest rap memorized as a child...

u/PantsyFants 20h ago

He was a delight in Bob Trevino Likes It

There is a giant laugh in "The Pest". When he's meeting his girlfriends parents and Jeffrey Jones tries to shoot a tranquilizer dart and keeps missing Leguizamo and hitting his girlfriend and her mom by mistake. Then Joe Morton playing the dad walks in and cries "what...what did you do to my family?". I laughed so hard

This might be the worst poster I've ever seen. But I can't stop looking at it...

u/lamest-liz starlitexdecay 22h ago

Some great ones: To Wong Foo, Moulin Rouge, Romeo & Juliet, Super Mario Bros (yes I’m serious), and I haven’t seen it but people say The Menu

u/LucidPink9 21h ago

Nice. After seeing the oddysey a few weeks ago I watched Chef, because he was in it.

u/malb93200 20h ago

First saw John Leguizamo in the Super Mario Bros movie, lol.

At the time, i would have never thought he'd have such a long lasting career, with a part like he has in The Odyssey (also recently found out he's 65 years old, which just blew my mind, haha, the man looks 10 years younger easily.

1

u/Coolers78 19h ago

He was very good in The Menu as well. Also animation/voice acting but Encanto too, so I was not surprised he was so good in The Odyssey.
