The frenetic Leguizamo is a foul-mouthed comedian, character actor, and the guy your kids know as the voice of Sid the sloth in Ice Age.

Colombian-born Leguizamo immigrated to New York with his parents, settling in Jackson Heights in the late '60s. Leguizamo started his career as a stand-up comedian and in 1986 making his television debut as a Latino gangster on Miami Vice. He was stuck playing Latino drug dealers and street thugs for the next several years, experiences he used for his first off-Broadway shows: In both his multi-character 1991 show Mambo Mouth and 1993's Spic-O-Rama, he mocked the stereotyped characters he'd portrayed for years in Hollywood movies. Over the years he's divided his time between in a handful of big-budget pics (Moulin Rouge, The Happening, and Ice Age), indie films (Spike Lee's Summer of Sam), TV shows (ER), and a slew of semi-autobiographical off-Broadway shows.

Leguizamo has been married to Justine Maurer since 2002. They have two children. [Image via Getty]
