We should all have John Leguizamo's kind of December -- he gets to open two films this year.
And while one, the ensemble comedy/drama Nothing Like The Holidays, has him as a featured player, the other, the independent social drama Where God Left His Shoes, is pretty much his show. In it, he plays a father who, with his step-son in tow, hits the New York streets one cold, Christmas eve in order to find the qualifying job that will get his homeless family into an apartment in time for the holidays.
I was able to talk to Leguizamo about the rigors of shooting on the cheap, and in the bargain got some unexpected insights into the casts of both films.
