Benicio Del Toro has burned brightly in all his films, from “The Usual Suspects” to “The Last Jedi.” Now, with “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” and “Escape at Dannemora,” he’s learning to linger. Benicio, who was born in Puerto Rico, is one of only a few Latinos to headline a film franchise released by Hollywood, where Hispanic actors still must often settle for supporting parts, when they exist at all. In his films, Mr. Del Toro has often played violent characters who shoot to kill, many of them on one side of the drug war or the other. He’s sanguine about his professional reputation but cleareyed about the role his ethnicity has played in defining his career. “It’s very difficult when your name ends with an ‘O’ and your last name ends with an ‘O,’” he said. “If you’re a Latino actor and you get a job in movies, it’s going to be as some kind of gangster.” For the actor, that has sometimes pitted his desire to excel as an actor against a competing impulse to challenge negative stereotypes, a predicament faced by many actors of color. Benicio said he decided to focus only on how well a character is written and on the merits of the filmmakers involved. “If I have to pick between breaking the stereotype and going for the good part, I’m always going to go for the good part,” he said. “I just think the good part is always going to be more satisfying. And I have my own life — I can make sure to break the stereotype there.” @jodyrogac took this photo of #BenicioDelToro. Visit the link in our profile to read more.
