Luis Guzman is one of my favorite New York actors. Born and raised in the City, trained in the City, always played NYC locals. Maybe a cop, maybe a psycho, but always a New York City guy.

One day his agent calls him; they want him for a movie, The Count of Monte Cristo. He’s flabbergasted. He plays New York, that’s what he does. But he goes in and auditions and they decide they want him.

I remember seeing him and recognizing him and saying ‘no way.’ Then he starts acting and it’s like, yeah, there were Puerto Ricans in the 1800s.
