I came to know Del Toro from his role in "The Usual Suspects", which I just found out was his break-out movie. He always seemed to me as non-conforming, odd, cold, mysterious and arrogant. Little did I know that much of it had to do with his shyness in public.
He is a high achiever and that intrigued me, until when I saw his appearance at Inside the Actor's Studio.
Very interesting. I can see it in his eyes that he is a totally different person from his movie characters. He is surprisingly a not bad looking guy at all, with a trace of Pitt and DiCaprio in him. And obviously well trained, hardworking, smart, and a talent.
He mentioned the advice that Christopher Walken gave him, to paraphrase, "if you don't know what you are doing, don't do anything." And what James Lipton quoted from other actors who have visited, "the power of stillness".
I just added a few more movies to my "to-watch" list.
