YES. Leguizamo absolutely nailed his performance as Tybalt, he had incredible mastery of the language! It& #39;s not the interpretation of Tybalt I favor* but it& #39;s a damn near flawless performance.

*can and have written papers on this character lmao do NOT get me starttttteeedddd https://twitter.com/negaversace/status/1252817703477239820">https://twitter.com/negaversa...
Tbh I have a LOT of feelings about how Leguizamo& #39;s career has gone down overall b/c he should absolutely be an icon & a star of his generation & he isn& #39;t & something f*ckin& #39; stinks*

He *always* knows what kind of film he& #39;s in & performs . . .

*that something is the white gaze
. . . & performs accordingly. That is INCREDIBLY hard to do. And yet he& #39;s almost never had the leading opportunities that the (mostly white) folks he& #39;s been on film with have gotten. He is shockingly good in Moulin Rogue, for example, & I love Nicole & adore me some Ewan yet. . .
NOT TO MENTION my man& #39;s stage career. He& #39;s versatile af with his roots in stand up & a long string of nuanced dramatic performances & as we all know from the start of this thread, he nails the Bard too. He& #39;s got more range than at least 2/3 of ya& #39;ll& #39;s faves & 1/2 the fame.
So I need SOMEONE to explain to me what, other than his race & ethnicity intersecting with his age, has kept him from leading man status, award season, & those real big ass checks? B/c from where I& #39;m sitting, I see a Colombian man in his 50s who refused to just play the clown.
