Want a real life example of a [[Badass Spaniard]]? Antonio is your man. He began his acting career at age 19 with a series of films by director [[Pedro Almodovar]]. He is well-known for playing [[Zorro (Franchise)|Zorro]] in ''[[The Mask of Zorro]]'' and its sequel ''Legend Of Zorro''.
 
Kids are more likely to remember him as Puss-In-Boots in ''[[Shrek]]'' (effectively Zorro as a cat) and Gregorio Cortez in ''[[Spy Kids]]''.
Line 14:
* ''Assassins'' - Miguel Bain
* ''[[Evita]]'' - Che: [[The Revolution Will Not Be Vilified|Revolutionary]], [[Framing Device|narrator]], not-really-[[Expy]] of ''that' Che.
* ''[[Interview Withwith the Vampire]]'' - Armand. Portrayed in the film as an adult rather than a youth, so as not to give the impression that Louis [[Ephebophile|likes 'em]] [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|young]].
* ''[[Philadelphia (Filmfilm)|Philadelphia]]'' - Miguel Alvarez
* ''[[Desperado]]'' and ''[[Once Upon a Time In Mexico]]'' - El Mariachi
* ''[[The Mask of Zorro]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zorro]]'' - Alejandro Murietta, the new [[Zorro (Franchise)|Zorro]].
* ''[[Spy Kids]]'' - Gregorio Cortez, [[Hot Dad]] to the main kids and part of the [[Badass Family]].
* ''[[Shrek (Animation)|Shrek]]'' - Puss In Boots, [[Puppy Dog Eyes|adorable]] kitty and [[Hitman Withwith a Heart|hired assassin]] who winds up [[I Owe You My Life|traveling with Shrek and Donkey]].
** ''[[Puss in Boots (Animationanimation)|Puss in Boots]]'' - Guess who?
* ''[[The 13 th13th Warrior]]'' - Ahmad ibn Fadlan, [[Non-Action Guy]] turned [[Badass Bookworm]] off to defeat [[Beowulf (Literature)|Grendel]]... Er, cannibal Neanderthals with Vikings.
* ''[[Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown]]'' - His most interesting role under Almodovar. In a role directly contrary to his Hollywood typecasting as a [[Badass Spaniard]], he plays a milquetoast [[Henpecked Husband|henpecked fiance]] who happens to be the son of the main character's ex-lover. It's weird.
