Benicio del Toro Bio | Wiki
Benicio del Toro (Full Name: Benicio Monserrate Rafael del Toro Sánchez) is a popular Puerto Rican actor and producer who has garnered critical acclaim and many accolades, such as an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards as well as a Silver Bear for his portrayal of the jaded but morally upright police officer Javier Rodriguez in the film Traffic (2000).
His performance as an ex-con turned religious fanatic in despair Jack Jordan, in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s 21 Grams (2003), gave him a second nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. In 2018, Benicio starred as Richard Matt in the Showtime miniseries Escape at Dannemora, for which he won a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie.
In September 2015, Benicio played Alejandro Gillick in the critically acclaimed Sicario, about a principled FBI agent who is enlisted by a government task force to bring down the leader of a powerful and brutal Mexican drug cartel. Film critics widely praised Benicio’s performance. Benicio replayed his role in the sequel Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018).

The gag in the spot is that fans regularly mistake him for fellow actor Antonio Banderas, much to Benicio’s chagrin.
