I stumbled upon the hottest Spaniard on Earth by accident; it was 2am and I couldn't sleep and I happened to put on IFC channel. My God, there he was rattling away in French. Black hair, burly and handsome. The language barrier was bridged by subtitles and there was no doubt this guy was talented. The name of the movie was "An Affair of Love" which is a story about how two strangers meet via a personal ad for weekly sexual trysts and then delve into something more meaningful. I googled this movie and actor immediately after falling under his spell. To my pleasant surprise he wasn't an obscure unknown face (at least not in Spain, France and most of Europe), he was an accomplished actor with Goyas (Spanish equivalent of Oscar) and Cesars (French equivalent of Oscar) under his belt. American movie goers might only recognize him from Pan's Labyrinth in which he plays the sadistic Captain Vidal. I'm smitten and cannot wait until he breaks into American cinema. Forget Antonio Banderas, this guy is one awesome hombre!
