Banderas was born in Málaga, Andalucía, Spain to José Domínguez, a State Department worker, and Doña Ana Banderas, a teacher. He has a brother, Francisco. Banderas was raised a Catholic, but no longer follows the religion.[1]
Banderas initially wanted to play soccer professionally, but his dream ended when he broke his foot at age 14. As a young man, he travelled penniless to Madrid, in order to make a career in the Spanish film industry.
Banderas first gained wide attention through a series of films by director Pedro Almodóvar, between 1982 and 1990, in which his characters often engaged in sex scenes considered explicit by American standards. His breakthrough role was as the character “Ricky” in Atame! (English-language title: Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!), which was a minor success in the United States. He subsequently moved to the U.S. and began appearing in American films; some of his earlier roles there included the 1992 film, The Mambo Kings, as well as a supporting role in the Oscar-winning 1993 film, Philadelphia. He appeared in several major Hollywood releases in 1995, including a starring role in the Robert Rodriguez-directed film, Desperado.
For the majority of the 1990s and 2000s, Banderas remained in the United States and has starred in several notable box office successes, including playing the title role in the The Mask of Zorro (1998) and The Legend of Zorro (2005).
