In the new film, "Fugly," actor John Leguizamo stars as an actor named Jesse.
His career has stalled, but eventually finds success by being himself up on stage.
It's not too far off from the path that Leguizamo took himself trying to make it as an entertainer.
He joined Alex Cohen to explore the semi-autobiographical film, including how difficult it was finding roles as a Latino actor that weren't "drug dealer #2."
