Benicio Del Toro

I do believe everyone is different.

And I will play every Latino different if I have to play Latino for the rest of my life.

I mean, my approach was, it's always been like, hey, you know,

You play the character.

I think now it's changed a little bit.

Your heritage is embraced...

And more so now, I think there's more opportunity.

We're not out of the bag, let's say, for Latino actors and actresses to get roles that mean something, that are three-dimensional and not stereotypes.

But there's more opportunity now than when I started.

That's for sure.

And I think that...

It's a good thing.

Still, there should be more.

And it's a complicated thing because it's not up to the actors.

It's really... It's got to start with the writing.

The writing and then the idea that it will attract eyeballs and ears to come and watch these stories.

So...

It's interesting, and it's better now than ever, and there's a lot of Latino actors working out there, and probably more than there were when I first started.

Tons more, yeah.

Thank you for having me.
