How did Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo end up being casted as Mario and Luigi?

If that had happened I think the movie would've been a box office smash and started an entire movie franchise

Even with the script unaltered

In the first one it's just devito, then in the sequel Luigi is played by John Leguizamo and they just say he lost some weight

Speaking of which, I never thought of it before, but I wonder if that guy got the role just because the first half of his last name looks kind of like "Luigi"
