Original ‘Super Mario Bros’ actor John Leguizamo to boycott reboot because of lack of diversity: ‘Hell no!’
Original Luigi John Leguizamo slams casting in 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie': 'They could’ve included a Latin character. Like I was groundbreaking and then they stopped the groundbreaking'
He's not "the original luigi" he's just a failed actor of the failed live action mario movie from the 1990's.
If anyone’s the original Luigi it’s Danny Wells.
Or maybe this guy I guess…
I wonder if the guy's aware that he was the first (non-Japanese, probably) person to ever play Luigi, either in live action or voiced. Assuming he's still alive, of course. Atari mary-o brothers came out forty years ago. He's probably in his late 70s by now.
If "Mario" is big on your credit list, yeah, you're not that big. Not a serious production though, and Mr Leguizamo has done work.
