"This your dean reminding you that among your prestigious alumni is Mr. Luis Guzman, celebrated actor and model Puerto Rican-American..."--Dean Pelton
The Luis Guzman statue is another example of Dean Pelton's ongoing effort to make Greendale seem more prestigious than it actually is; this bronze representation of moderately famous comedic character actor Luis Guzman has been prominently featured in many episodes, usually during an opening shot of the school's campus. The statue was unveiled in the Season One episode Advanced Criminal Law and continues to make appearances throughout the rest of the series.
History
Edit
Dean Pelton throws a big ceremony for the unveiling of the statue in "Advanced Criminal Law." It is later seen briefly in the opening of "Romantic Expressionism." In the next episode "Communication Studies" , it is decorated for Valentine's Day wearing boxer shorts with hearts on them. It makes its last appearance of the season in the beginning of "Pascal's Triangle Revisited" when Jeff is making his way across campus; it can be seen under a large banner announcing the 2010 Transfer Dance. In Season Two, the statue can be seen in the season premiere when the various members of the group arrive for the first day of classes at Greendale. In the episode "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas", the statue appears in stop motion animated form while Abed is singing. In the season finale "For A Few Paintballs More", City College paintball troopers are seen pulling the statue down. In the Season Three episode "Documentary Filmmaking: Redux", Luis Guzman visits the school to film a commercial for Greendale and sees his statue for the first time. He later tells Dean Pelton how displeased he is with it. The dean assumes he finds the sculpture's figure unflattering and suggests the bronze adds ten pounds. Luis tells him it's the students that are here now that matter not him or any other alumni who have sinced moved on from the school.
