John Leguizamo prepared to star in a gripping TV series and took the initiative to help launch a streaming platform for it.

John Leguizamo spoke out about diversity at the Emmy Awards, highlighting the lack of representation for Latino actors in Hollywood. He emphasized the importance of creating platforms for diverse stories and launched his new show, “The Green Veil,” on his streaming platform, The Network, in partnership with Comcast. The series explores issues of identity, assimilation, and Latino and Native American history. Leguizamo aims to combat the underrepresentation of Latinos in Hollywood by creating his own content and platforms. Despite the growth of Latino leads in TV and film, there is still a lack of diverse representation behind and in front of the camera. Leguizamo is a well-known advocate for Latino representation in the entertainment industry and is expanding his work across various platforms, including a new miniseries, play, and docuseries. He draws inspiration from the passion and feedback he receives from audiences, fueling his efforts to tell authentic Latino stories and create opportunities for underrepresented communities in the industry.
