Hollywood’s problem, Leguizamo told The Daily Beast, is “not making an effort. I mean, I have seen crazy shit. It happens that they’ll take story that had real Latino people in it and take them out and put white people in those roles, like they did in Argo (in which Ben Affleck played Mexican-American hero Antonio “Tony” Mendez).
“No, don’t do that, give us our stories,” said Leguizamo.
Well, without Affleck, no one would have seen this and Mendez was credited very prominently at the end of movie...
The fact Affleck was in it, meant I wasn’t going to see it.
They just had Catherine Zeta Jones playing a Colombian drug lord.
