  • During Variety’s Actors on Actors chat, Michael Douglas and Benicio del Toro compared the acting advice they received early in their careers and Douglas claimed Steven Spielberg stopped him from receiving a best actor award for HBO’s “Behind the Candelabra” at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
    “The rumor was that I was sort of favored for the best actor award and that he put the kibosh on that because it was an HBO film,” said Douglas.

    Douglas hit the nail on the head.
    Del Toro takes the audience into him, just as Nicholson and Penn do as well.
    Love these actors!

      @@Largentina. That is not only irrelevant but incorrect. Benicio has one Oscar win and one more nomination and only a single globe nomination,One he won.19 years ago. That's just nuts. BAFTA-voters get it though,three noms there.
      He is a big star but deserves better roles and to be an actor everybody knows,he should be payed like an A-lister. So I would say he is frustratingly underrated concidering his substantial resume and talent. PS. Great,the asshole who said Benny has won two oscars and two globes ( what?) removed his comment so it looks like this is my response to Benicio being incredible in Sicario,which he of course is...ah Well,fuck it.

      Underrated to the general public and casual moviegoers. To the people that really love movies know hes one of the best. Let Dwayne Johnson be the movie star in one dumb movie after another just in it for the money. Benicio is a serious actor and carefully chooses the roles he plays, I'd much rather have him stay like he is. He has so many great movies, Snatch, The Hunted, Fear and Loathing, Way of the Gun, The Fan, Usual Suspects, Traffic, Swimming With Sharks ...

    Did anyone notice the ALMOST UNCANNY MOMENT at 15:40 when Benicio and Michael both moved a bit to relax their sitting posture-just like mirror image? It seems like they are in sync with each other, and by the way, they are sort of. Because they both showed so much mutual admiration and respect for their crafts from the beginning. BEST "Actors on Actors" I'VE EVER SEEN.

    Benicio Del Toro can do anything!! He is the greatest!! I love his movies. One thing , because there are many, that I love about him is how he engages himself into his character. Every character he plays is truly authentic. He is so deserving and entitled to all the accolades and successes he receives. In my book, he would win an Oscar every time for everything!! His emotion and passion are ever present on and off screen. I am confident in saying that he is the greatest actor , person in decades. Hands down by far the best. What you get from Benicio Del Toro is solid acting not fluff and stuff. You get raw acting natural. That is another reason I love him so much. I love you, Benicio Del Toro!!

    I'm so glad to see Benicio del Toro getting more mainstream exposure. He always stood out to me. He is the sort of immersive actor perfect in diverse standalone originals. Kinda like the Michael Douglas carreer. Just think of classics like Traffic, Falling Down, Basic Instinct and War of the Roses- what sort of actor nowadays could pull something like that off? Let alone have opportunities like that? feckin Hollywood is just all about franchises now...although I gotta admit I am hoping on that third Sicario movie...
