[edit] Accents

Not sure, but shouldn't there be accents on names & words like Sánchez, Germán & Perpétuo?

-Yup.

[edit] Capitalized D in "Del Toro"

Most of the Del Toros that come from Puerto Rico have a capital D when they spell Del Toro. All of Benicio's film credits in the past ten years have credited him with a capital D. The name we are redirected to should be his actual name not one that is spelled in the way that we think it should be spelled. Wikipedia should redirect from Benicio del Toro to Benicio Del Toro, not the other way around.

[edit] Public Relations style

His career gained real momentum in 1995 with his breakout performance in The Usual Suspects, where he stole scenes from his more seasoned costars as the mumbling, wisecracking Fred Fenster. The role won him an Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actor, and firmly established him as "the guy to watch."

Doesn't this whole article sound like it was written by his publicist? Needs the weasel words pulled out, I will try but I am editing 3 other Biography pages -- ×××jijin+machina | Chat Me!××× -- 17:18, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV

This article needs a rewrite to correct the huge load of POV statements. One of the worst is the sentence which talks about his "smoldering looks". That is someone's opinion and not very encyclopedic sounding. (Ghostexorcist 23:45, 15 January 2007 (UTC))
