John Leguizamo is ready for fans to recoil from him after seeing him in his new drama series, The Green Veil. The actor is taking on a lead role in a television series for the first time and it is unlike anything we’ve seen him do yet.

Leguizamo executive produces the drama in which he plays a government agent in the 1950s who is trying to unravel a secret mission that exposes much darker secrets. When we caught up with Leguizamo at a screening and immersive experience hosted The McKittrick Hotel’s Sleep No More in New York City, he took us inside the plot of the show, which he labeled “dark” and “twisted.”
