A few weeks ago my buddy Luis Guzman called me to catch up on stuff. That’s what we do, that’s how we roll. We get on skype, we ask about each others families and then we get silly. Getting silly is one thing Luis Guzman is really good at as you’ll see in this video below. Luis called me to tell me how excited he was about being part of Ducksauce’s new video and how Justin Bieber, Mark Wahlberg and his childhood buddies all got involved. Videos like this make me smile, so I thought I’d share it with you guys. Tell me what you think of the ‘Luis Guzman’ Ducksauce video. You can catch Luis Guzman next on the second season of HOW TO MAKE IT IN AMERICA premiering October 2 on HBO.
Will be working together this Summer in NYC shooting a remake of the Dudley Moore classic “ARTHUR” which was released in the 80′s. Luis is to play Russell Brand’s chauffeur in the feature. It looks like it’s going to be an 8 to 10 weeks shoot in the city. We also hear that Emma Thompson and Helen Mirren are in the cast. We’ll keep you posted on production of this movie right here on Latino Film Chatter.
Luis Antonio Ramos and Luis Guzman on the set of HBO’s “How to make it in America” shooting in NYC. You get to see behind the scenes footage only here on Latino Film Chatter.
When I talk with Luis Antonio Ramos on the phone or even when we are chilling, he always calls himself a “Been around guy” guys like himself, Luis Guzman, Jaime Tirelli, and I could mention more but you get the point, these guys have been in this game for over 20 years!
I was even making that point with Luis Guzman the other day, we were discussing the sitcom “COMMUNITY” and how in the episode Luis was being honored at Greendale Community college. This is on prime time NBC and as I watch the show it hits me, the first time I ever saw Luis Guzman was on “Miami Vice” on NBC over 20 years ago.
Now I watched this show and see how full circle life is and how back then Luis was doing his first official acting gig, 20 plus years later “Community” on NBC dedicated an entire episode to Luis Guzman. He’s never in the show physically but we do see a statue of him at the end.
I’m sure he’d love to get that statue and put it in front of his house in Vermont.
Well the whole purpose of the story really was about “Been around guys” in the acting game, Luis Ramos is no slouch in this department either. He’s been a Lead in several TV shows (Early Edition CBS, Martin FOX, Huntress USA) on various networks. Yet Luis Ramos and Luis Guzman never really knew each other. They knew of each other but just weren’t cool like that.
I came to find this out cause I hang out with both and would talk about each other to both Luis’ I know it is getting confusing, lol bueno the thing is now they are friends because I introduced them to each other. Two Boricuas from New York doing their thing in the arts.
Luis Ramos was good enough to capture some of their day on the set, for us here on Latino film chatter. The been around guys that now can’t seem to stop crossing paths have been very supportive of Latino Film Chatter and I thank both Luis Ramos for always stepping up for the site, and to Luis Guzman bro what can I say except “I loved you in Ghost”
“EXCLUSIVE CLIP” of Luis Antonio Ramos on the set of HBO “How to Make it in America”
There’s a report out on TMZ.com that Brittany Murphy’s husband Simon Monjack landed in LAX on saturday and he was completely incoherent. Apparently they were in Puerto Rico and were returning home. EMT’s on the scene claimed he was passed out when they got to him.
That’s their story.
I know exactly what happened to them before this flight from Puerto RIco to LAX.
Not even TMZ.com got this one yet!!
Brittany Murphy was hired by a production company in Puerto Rico to work on a movie out there. The people putting this movie together are some of the same individuals that worked on “Maldeamores” which was also shot in Puerto Rico a few years back.
I got several calls about her being in Puerto Rico cause I got peeps out there. This is what they tell me.
Brittany Murphy is an asshole!!!
Apparently she was being absolutely rude with everyone and I mean everyone, from people in production to hotel staff. Her husband got into a fight with some locals who left and came back with more buddies to kick his ass. Lucky for her husband that hotel staff was able to diffuse that situation. However it goes to show you how tacky this couple is.
Brittany was being so difficult that the production kindly asked her to leave.
She was replaced by Rachelle Lefevre (New Moon) who flew in on a red eye and was ready for action in just a few hours.
Brittany lingered around for a few days threatening production and screaming that she was going to do everything possible to sabotage the movie. Hotel staff were given orders that she was not to come near actors or crew of the production since she was terminated.
Poor Brittany, what an idiot. Then they finally leave and TMZ catches her and hubby at the LAX airport. What is going on with Brittany Murphy? I used to like her work.
