Fans of John Leguizamo's smash-hit one-man shows (Mambo Mouth, Spic-o-rama, Freak, and Sexaholix) have already gotten a glimpse into his life, but this book tells the whole story, carrying readers along on a wild journey from his childhood in Queens to his current home at the top of the Hollywood pyramid. An acclaimed director, producer, and play-wright, and one of the highest-paid Latin actors in the world, Leguizamo shares the stories behind his many roles—what inspired them and what transpired as he created them—while dishing on his personal relationships with his family, friends, and celebrity colleagues. Here is both an intimate self-portrait and a unique behind-the-scenes look at the magic and chaos of stardom, a keenly intelligent and insanely funny book that celebrates a remarkably talented artist's greatest achievement: growing up Latino in America and succeeding on his own terms.

How'd you like to spend a couple of nights, sitting down for a bunch of beers with Johnny Legs, and talking with him about life, liberty and the pursuit of meaning in the manic world of "showbiz". Well he's so mad busy performing, writing, directing, producing, voicing (bring on Ice Age III!!) and raising his family, that reading Pimps, Hos etc. is as close as you'll probably ever get to this creative Tazmanian Devil. But that's pretty much what this expansive autobio feels like, in a unique and engaging way - a deeply personal, brutally honest conversation with one of America's most illuminating observers of the dog-eat-dog entertainment scene, the harsh realities of a first-generation immigrant family, and the struggle and rise of the Latino demographic in America. The bonus is that he does all the talking, and all you have to do is listen (not enough of that going on in the world), laugh out loud, wince uncomfortably now and then, and join John on his amazing journey from young class clown to cutting edge star of stage, screen and centerfold (I mean...book reviews). As Pimps opened, I was afraid it was going to be merely a written reprise of his one-man tour de force, Sexaholix, because he starts out with a hilarious introduction of his boyhood crew. But very quickly, he is taking you much deeper into his private, personal experiences and the profound impact each had in shaping the kind of artist - and person - he is today. Let me tell you, he's amazingly divers and complex. Don't get me wrong, the book is frikkin' ridiculously funny; I couldn't stop bothering everyone, reading excerpts out loud.
