John Leguizamo Based ‘The Menu’ Character On Steven Seagal: “He’s Kind Of A Horrible Human” - Deadline

John Leguizamo is back on the big screen with The Menu and he recently opened up about who he based his character on.

To get into the mindset of the fictional character, the Encanto voice actor got inspiration from Steven Seagal.

Executive Decision is a 1996 film directed by Stuart Baird that starred Kurt Russell, Halle Berry, Leguizamo and Seagal, among others
