Antonio Banderas

Sensational Spanish performer and the winner of the Best Actor Award at Cannes, Antonio Banderas, began his acting career with a series of films by Pedro Almodovar. Before gracing Hollywood with his countless hits, Antonio was a footballer until an unfortunate foot injury at the age of fourteen crushed that dream.

After moving to Tinsel Town, the young Antonio eventually found success with American audiences after playing Zorro’s character in the eponymous film series. That role is what paved the way for his Hollywood success in not just acting but also direction and production.
