My America: John Leguizamo

The World

All this week, in honor of Independence Day, we’re airing a series of reports titled  My America. We’ll be speaking to leading figures in  politics,  culture,  media  and the arts, and we’re asking what being American means to them. We’ve also had quite a few  listeners  –  as well as our  producers  and  hosts  –  weigh in!   This is the contribution from  John  Leguizamo,  Golden Globe-nominated actor, currently starring in the one-man Broadway show “Ghetto Klown,” which is running through July 10th.
