If you are a waiter or a clerk, you must hope to win John Leguizamo as a customer.
In an interview on Good Morning America, the 62-year-old The Power star revealed that he tips waiters and staff with $100 bills.
“Come on, it’s not the 1970s,” Leguizamo said. “You can’t tip $20 bills. People will throw you back on it.’
“You have to give something back,” he said. “When people give you their best and you don’t tip them? come on who are you
“I’m not a cheapskate,” added The Menu star, who is boycotting the new Super Mario Bros. movie.

Leguizamo also talked about his new Amazon Prime series The Power, based on Naomi Alderman’s 2016 bestseller of the same name.
“Can you imagine a world where women take over? It will be a great place. So that’s this series,” Leguizamo said.
“Teenage girls develop an organ to protect themselves and it gives them electricity.”
“Static shock for some girls, nuclear explosions for other girls – and men are afraid.”
“It’s a great, scary, powerful show,” he added, noting that men aren’t as willing to give up their power.
And while the Leguizamo Does America star likes the concept of The Power, he’s less excited about the new Super Mario Bros. movie.
He starred in the 1993 Mario Bros. movie, but will not see the latest movie as there is no Latin character.
“You could have used a Latin character. I pioneered and then they stopped pioneering,” he said.

“You messed up the recording. They retired,” Leguizamo continued. “I just cast some Latino people. We make up 20 percent of the population — the largest group of people of color, and we’re underrepresented. Overrepresented in the worst jobs.”
While Mario and Luigi are depicted as Italians in several games, the characters were designed by Japanese game designers Shigeru Miyamoto and Gunpei Yokoi.
Leguizamo may have meant Latin actors since he still played Italian in the 1993 film.
However, the new Super Mario Bros. movie has some Latin actors, but not in the lead roles.
Back in November he did told IndieWire that it “sucks” that the new movie has white actors Chris Pratt and Charlie Day as Mario and Luigi, respectively.

“I’m OG. A lot of people like the original,” said the Bogotá, Colombia-born star. “I was at Comic-Con in New York and in Baltimore and everyone was like, ‘No, no, we like the old, the original.’ You don’t feel the new. I’m not bitter. It’s a shame.’
Of the 1993 film, he added: “Directors Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton fought very hard to get me to play the lead because I was a Hispanic man, and [the studio] didn’t want me to be the lead. They fought very hard and it was such a breakthrough.”
He added “that they back off and don’t throw another one [actor of color] kind of shit.’
