ABOUT THE ACTOR
Born in Andalucía, Spain, José Antonio Domínguez Bandera dreamt of being a professional soccer player until he broke his foot at age 14. He studied drama and worked with the National Theater of Spain, where he caught the eye of acclaimed Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar. Through his series of films with Almodóvar between 1982 and 1990, his popularity spread. Mujeres ... and Atame!, introduced Banderas to American audiences. Despite his poor English skills, he made his Hollywood debut in The Mambo Kings in 1992. Due to his undeniable screen presence and Latin good looks, a string of supporting roles followed. His first US starring role came in Robert Rodriguez's Desperado in 1995. He worked in 6 different films that year, a pace that he could not possibly maintain. Nonetheless, his prolific cinematic output contines to astonish. In 2005, Banderas received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

ABOUT THE ACTOR
Born in the Canary Islands, Javier Ángel Encinas Bardem comes from a family of filmmakers. As a teenager he appeared in several television series, though he was not committed to an acting career intially. He studied painting and then played for the Spanish national rugby team before making his big screen debut in Las edades de Lulú (The Ages of Lulu) in 1990. The international hit Jamón, Jamón (A Tale of Ham and Passion) followed. His apprehension about being typecast as a womanizing stud led him to deliberately choose much different characters to play in the years that followed and he gained recognition for his ability to transform himself to successfully play diverse roles. His breakthrough performance came in 2000 with Before Night Falls, for which he garnered several awards as well as Oscar and Golden Globe nominations. For his 2004 performance in the Oscar-winning film Mar adentro (The Sea Inside), he took home a Golden Globe Award. He has also received the 1996, 2003 and 2005 Spanish Goya Awards for Best Actor.

ABOUT THE ACTOR
Demián Bichir Nájera was born in Mexico City into a family that seems to have acting in its genes. Both mother and father as well as two brothers are also actors. Bichir started his career in television soap operas at the age of 14 and won occasional roles in American, Mexican, and Spanish films. During the 1990, he increasingly took on starring movie roles and gained much attention in 1999 when the comedy Sexo, pudor y lágrimas (Sex, Shame & Tears), in which he also played the lead role, became the most successful box-office hit in the history of Mexican cinema.

ABOUT THE ACTRESS
Penélope Cruz Sánchez started dancing at an early age, receiving several years of instruction in classical ballet, dance performance, and jazz dance. She dropped out of school at age 15 when she beat out 300 other competitors in a talent agency audition. The numerous roles in television shows and music videos that she subsequently secured served as a springboard for a film career. Her first major films were Jamón, Jamón (A Tale of Ham and Passion) and the even more successful Belle epoque (The Age of Beauty), which took home the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film as well as several Goya Awards.

In the succeeding years, her resume of on-screen acting experience grew, as she played lead roles in more award-winning Spanish films, including Carne trémula (Live Flesh) and Abre tus ojos (Open Your Eyes). To expand her career opportunities, she accepted some English-language roles in British film and television. As for so many Spanish actors, however, it would be her work with famed director Pedro Almódovar that would provide a welcome boost to her international success. Following her performance in Todo sobre mi madre (All About My Mother) Cruz was suddenly in great demand as an actress in both Spanish and American films. She has starred opposite Hollywood leading men Johnny Depp, Matt Damon, Nicolas Cage, and Tom Cruise -- an impressive array by any standards. She is close friends with fellow Latina actress Salma Hayek.

ABOUT THE ACTOR
Born in South America when his actress mother was on tour, Fernando Fernán Gómez returned with his family to Spain in 1924. Following the Spanish Civil War, he gave up his university studies in law to pursue a career on the stage. He formed his own theater company, and directed and wrote scripts in addition to acting. In the 1940s, he began working in cinema as well. He directed his first feature film in 1952. He is especially known for his roles in comedies, but has also worked in dramatic roles. He has acted in over 170 films, the bulk of which were recorded during the Franco era, though he picked up Goya Awards for Best Actor in 1987 and 1999 and the 1993 Goya for Best Supporting Actor. Fernán Gómez is also a respected author of poetry and novels, has worked on television, radio, and in opera. His diverse artistic talents have won him an essential place in the panorama of Spanish culture and cultural history.

Though Fernán Gómez made numerous films, just those of the last decades are listed here; older ones are just very difficult to come by.

ABOUT THE ACTOR
Perhaps not surprising for a child whose parents are already in the business, Gael García Bernal began acting at a very early age. He appeared with them in a variety of plays and made appearances in short films. By the time he was a teenager, he was Mexico's soap opera heartthrob. The teen temporarily left his successful career behind to study acting in London. He returned home to shoot his first major feature film, Amores perros, which hit the theaters in 2000. The movie, which won many accolades including a nomination for the Best Foreign Film Oscar, brought the young actor international attention.

Though offered big-budget roles outside of Mexico, García Bernal opted to continue working in the profession closer to his roots. The choice seemed validated as he appeared in lead roles in hit film after hit film, including Y tu mamá también (And Your Mother Too), which was nominated for the Best Original Screenplay Oscar, El crimen del padre Amaro (The Crime of Father Amaro), which received both Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for Best Foreign Film, and Diarios de motocicleta (The Motorcycle Diaries), which was likewise nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film. He also played the lead in noted Spanish director Pedro Almódovar's La mala educación (Bad Education), which also took home several nominations and awards in 2004. García Bernal has made a name for himself as one of Mexico's premier young actors.

ABOUT THE ACTRESS
Salma Hayek, daughter of a Mexican mother and Lebanese father, wanted to become an actress from a very early age. She gave up her university studies in international relations to fulfill her dream of acting. She first became a star at home playing the title role in the Mexican soap opera "Teresa" (1989), but soon left for Hollywood to more broadly explore her career potential. After receiving only bit parts in stereotyped Latin roles and improving her English skills, she got her break when director Robert Rodríguez cast her opposite Antonio Banderas in Desperado in 1995. Audiences were starstruck by the pair, and during the remainder of the decade, Hayek worked in a variety of roles. Her beauty and star status won her cosmetics contracts with Revlon, and later with Avon, and twice landed her on People Magazine's annual list of the world's most beautiful 50 people.

Though the commerical Hollywood movies brought her the success she had always dreamt of, Hayek was eager to be part of independent and artistic films in which she felt she could stretch her acting ability. For her title role in Frida, she became the second Latin actress to ever be nominated for the Best Actress Oscar. In 2003, she worked again with director Rodríguez in the third film of his Mexico trilogy and in a cameo in his Spy Kids 3-D movie. As one of Hollywood's most recognized and highest paid Latin actresses, she continues to capture interesting roles that showcase her talent.

ABOUT THE ACTOR
Rafael "Fele" Martínez studied theater in Madrid, where he created the Sex-Peare Theater troupe with a group of friends and fellow students. He gained experience in acting and directing theater before turning his attention to film acting. For his supporting role in Tesis (Thesis) -- his very first feature performance -- he was awarded the Goya for Best New Actor. His subsequent work with noted Spanish directors Pedro Almodóvar and Alejandro Amenábar, in such acclaimed films as Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes) and Hable con ella (Talk to Her), have made him a familiar on-screen face internationally. La mala educación (Bad Education) is the most recent addition to this list of films that have gained the young actor serious attention from abroad. These international hits and the other films he has produced for consumption at home make him one of Spain's great rising stars. Yet Martínez is loath to abandon his professional roots; he continues to find time to act in theater performances.

ABOUT THE ACTOR
Born the youngest of seven brothers, Eduardo Noriega started out studying music, but soon discovered his natural talent for drama and shifted the focus of his studies. His major breakthrough came in 1996, when he teamed up with then-blossoming director Alejandro Amenábar in Tesis (Thesis). After sweeping the Goya Awards, the pair gained international attention with their movie of the following year, Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes). Cameron Crowe bestowed the best kind of praise upon it when he remade the film in 2001 as Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise in the role originally formed by the young actor. Noriega has also worked with such noted directors as Mateo Gil and Guillermo del Toro and has made a name for himself in Spanish cinema. His talent continues to capture him strong and diverse leading roles in Spanish feature films.

ABOUT THE ACTOR
Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Pennsylvania farm country, Benicio del Toro was studying to be a lawyer when he took his first college acting class. Irrevocably bitten by the acting bug, he dropped his original career plan and began actively studying acting in Los Angeles and New York. He made television appearances on popular series such as "Miami Vice" and "Hard Copy" and played small parts in the 007 film License to Kill and The Indian Runner. His face became increasingly familiar to audiences over the next few years.

His real break finally came in 1995 with his memorable role as mumbling gangster Fred Fenster in The Usual Suspects, a part for which he took home an Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actor. In 2000, he would also take home the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and numerous critics awards for his memorable performance in Traffic, a role in which nearly all of his spoken lines are in Spanish. He is the third Puerto Rican actor to ever win an Oscar.

After the successes of 2000, his celebrity status seemed firmly cemented and he has become a mainstay on the big screen. He appeared on People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" and "Most Eligible Bachelors" lists. Comparisons with James Dean, Marlon Brando, and Brad Pitt pay witness to both his talent and his smouldering good looks.
