Biography
A gifted actor with old-fashioned matinee-idol looks, Antonio Banderas smoldered
his way to an international following with his sly send-ups of Latin machismo in
the films of fellow Spaniard Pedro Almodovar. When a foot injury sidetracked his
plans for a professional soccer career, the dark-haired, doe-eyed teenager
turned his attention to the stage, completing his studies at Malaga's School of
Dramatic Art before embarking upon a five-year stint with the prestigious
National Theater of Spain, where he quickly caught the eye of Almodovar.
