IS THIS A LATIN BRAD PITT?
NO! IT'S BDT AT THE PREMIER OF "SNATCH"

Benicio is very nice to his fans. I met him in February in New York City at the Guggenheim Modern Art Museum. He signed an autograph for me and asked me for my name and address so he could send me a signed picture when he came back to New York this summer. He's very buisy right now because his film career has taken off.

BDT QUOTES:

"My life is steepted in tradition. I have to talk Spanish to my father, Spanglish to my brother, and Italian to my mother's family."

BDT on being called "The Latin Brando"-
"Everybody wants to be Brando. He's like the Picaso of acting."

"No, I'm not Brando, I'm not Jack Nicholson but I do mumble."

"I remember when i got started they wanted to change my name. They said Benicio sounded too Italian and Del Toro sounded too Spanish so they wanted me to change my name to Benny Dell. I was like no! Either you take me how I am or nothing. My name is who I am. My parents gave it to me."

"A good pizza is better that a hundred dollar meal in a expensive restaurant."
