BIO

Antonio Banderas has been one of the most outstanding international actors of his generation. He has received critical acclaim for his roles in film, television, and theatre, as well as for his work behind the camera as a director.



He has worked with some of the best directors and actors in Hollywood: Robert Rodriguez's Desperado opposite Salma Hayek and the sequel Once Upon a Time in Mexico, opposite Johnny Depp; Original Sin with Angelina Jolie; Alan Parker's Evita opposite Madonna (for which he received his first Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor); The Mask of Zorro, by Martin Campbell, opposite Catherine Zeta-Jones (second Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor), and the sequel The Legend of Zorro; Neil Jordan's Interview with the Vampire with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt; Jonathan Demme's Philadelphia alongside Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington; Bille August's House of the Spirits with Meryl Streep and Glenn Close; and Femme Fatale by Brian de Palma. He was nominated for his third Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for his performance as the infamous Pancho Villa on HBO's “And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself” in 2003. In 2005 he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In 2003, he was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for Nine, his Broadway debut, a Roundabout Theatre Company production inspired by Fellini's 8 1/2, and which garnered him a Drama Desk Award for Best Actor, as well as Outer Critics Circle, Drama League, and Theatre World Awards.

He has also starred in “Genius: Picasso” (2018), the National Geographic limited series for which he received Primetime Emmy, Golden Globe, Critic's Choice and SAG Award nominations for Best Actor in a Limited Series. He won the Best Actor Award at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival for his compelling performance as Salvador Mallo in Pedro Almodóvar's autobiographical drama Pain and Glory, his eighth film with Almodóvar and one that earned him rave reviews. Recent credits include roles in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Babygirl, and the upcoming Paddington in Peru.

In 2019 he promoted the Teatro del Soho CaixaBank project in his hometown, Malaga. The theatre opened with the musical A Chorus Line, its first production with John Breglio and Banderas himself as actor, co-director and producer of the show which was a great success with audiences and critics alike. In 2020 he created the Teatro Soho Televisión division for audiovisual projects and presented and directed the music program Escena en Blanco & Negro for Amazon Prime Video and the 35th edition of the Goya Awards for the Spanish Film Academy. He produced, directed and starred as Robert in Company, which first played at Teatro del Soho CaixaBank in 2021 and was followed in 2022 by a six-week run at Teatre Apolo in Barcelona and touring production in Madrid at the UMusic Hotel-Teatro Albéniz.

Company won the prestigious Max Award for Best Musical Show in 2022 and received 3 Talía Awards, including Best Musical Theatre Actor for Antonio Banderas, bestowed by the Spanish Academy of Performing Arts. Banderas has recently been distinguished with the 2023 President’s Award for his contribution to cultural and musical heritage at the 24th edition of the Latin Grammys.
