LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Actor John Leguizamo is set to make his directorial debut with an HBO film scheduled for this summer.

He also stars in "Undefeated," about a boxer from humble surroundings in Queens trying to deal with sudden wealth and fame. The movie is scheduled to premiere July 26 on HBO.

Leguizamo also collaborated on the story with Frank Pugliese ("Shot in the Heart," "Homicide" ), who wrote the screenplay. The movie also stars Clifton Collins Jr. ("Traffic" ), Robert Forster ("Jackie Brown" ), Vanessa Ferlito and Nestor Serrano ("Witchblade" ).

"Undefeated" continues Leguizamo's string of productions for HBO. Several of his stage shows were filmed for the pay-cable service, and he won an Emmy in 1999 for his performance in "Freak."

He's also earned an Obie award for his off-Broadway show "Mambo Mouth" and multiple Tony nominations. His movie credits include "Moulin Rouge," "Empire" and "Summer of Sam."
