    I don’t remember Robin Williams into To Wong Foo, but he’s listed in an uncredited part on the IMDB.

    1. Hey Dan. Good to see you are surving the fall of New York. Scary scary stats coming out our your home area. So John Leguizamo is losing some steam on the Oracle list. Still being in the 300s is still impressive. His 84 movies on my table is one of the biggest totals for somebody so young. Granted…he is quickly closing in on 60.

      Looking at the first list, wow….it is huge. Look like Denis Leary is his most frequent Oracle co-star….but all of those were from the Ice Age franchise. I give more credit for some of his three timers like Ethan Hawke, Bill Pullman, Mike Starr (I like him..he seems to have slowed down) and others. Looking at the second list. I agree….his total is indeed pretty low for appearing in so many movies.

      I like you do not remember Robin Williams being in To Wong Foo. Maybe he did a voice. Good stuff as always.

  2. Wow the talented John Leguizamo has been busy, that’s quite a list. He’s had a varied career, roles include gangsters, transvestites, Toulouse-Lautrec, a clown from hell and a lisping sloth. I’m impressed.

    I’ve seen 34 of the 83 films on the chart. Favorites include – Carlito’s Way, Romeo & Juliet, Land of the Dead, John Wick 2-3, Titan AE, the Ice Age series, Die Hard 2, Executive Decision, Kick Ass 2, Out for Justice and Spawn.

    I watched Carlito’s Way again recently, Leguizamo played ‘Benny Blanco from the Bronx’, one of his most well known roles.

    John Wick 2 his highest rated film, who would have guessed? I have no problem with that, it’s one of the best action movies of recent years.

    Good work Bruce. Vote Up!

    1. Hey Steve. Good stuff as always. I like you was very surprised he’s been so busy. If you told me before rain is Paige, I would’ve guessed he was slowing down. The reality is he still making movies all the time. Some might not be as well-known as others but he still working hard. Tally account. I have seen 52 of his movies, you were 32 and Bob since the 14. One of the rare times Bob has actually given us his count, and it’s a decent total. It has been ages since I seen Carlotta’s Way. So long in fact that I don’t even remember his part in the movie. I agree with your comment that he has played a nice wide variety of roles, it’s done pretty well in them. Thanks again for the visit, hope things are going well in England.

  3. I liked him a lot in many many movies. Favorites would be To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar, Nothing Like The Holidays and Moulin Rouge.

    1. Hey Gilberto. Thanks for checking out our latest page. I’ve seen a lot of his movies, but sadly I’ve only seen one of the three you mentioned. I will have to check out your other two favorites in the near future. Your comment is greatly appreciated.

  4. Bruce is right to say that John been exceptionally busy over the past 30 years because on top of his massively prolific big screen career comprehensively covered above he has been involved with (1) 28 television productions (2) 4 video games (3) 2 musical videos (4) and 1 Web presentation.

    That has earned him a net worth of $25 million and according to IMDB 14 acting awards and 27 nominations. I have seen 14 of his films including four of the Ice Age franchise which was a very popular series with my grandchildren as they were growing up. [Where has the time gone? The first one was released in 2002 before my grandchildren were even born.]

    John has in the pipeline:
    1/one recently completed movie
    2/two at post-production stage
    3/one at pre-production stage
    4/and a further one announced

    Also for television he has (1) at pre-production stage a 10 episode series called Power (2) a 13 episode series that has been announced called Hypno and which is described as an action/crime mystery thriller – “A TV mentalist becomes the main suspect in a series of horrifying crimes that increase the ratings” [sounds creepy!] John has the lead and its reported budget is a mere $75,000. So all in all the “busyness” continues – “Voted Up!”

    1. Hey Bob. Thanks for the common visit and T
      tally count. I have seen 52 of his movies. Shocked I seen that many of them, then again I was shocked when he had over 80 for this table. Thanks for all the additional information you provided in your comment. Good to see he is establish such a nice net worth.Looks like hard work really does pay off. Not surprised he has so many movies in projects in post production, and she is one busy actor. Good stuff as always, hope things are still going OK in Ireland.
