Benicio is Metro's critic Phil Brown's choice
for Best Performance, for his portrayal of
Ernesto Guevara De la Serna in
The Argentine and Guerrilla.
After seeing both films at the
Toronto International Film Festival,
Mr. Brown wrote:
"There was never any doubt that Del Toro would do
something special when he signed on to play Che Guevara,
but his stunning portrayal of the infamous revolutionary
proved to surpass even the loftiest expectations.
We should all be wearing T-shirts with his face."
