Benicio del Toro always impresses us with his activism. His latest? He has partnered with animal rights organization PETA to petition Puerto Rico’s governor to stop the breeding of a group of monkeys from the island of Mauritius.
Bioculture is a company is actually planning to use the monkeys and sell off their offspring for experiments.
This is an excerpt from the letter that Benny wrote to Puerto Rico’s governor Luis Fortuño about his opposition to the Guayama mpnkey facility .
“[M]ost Puerto Ricans are strongly opposed to Bioculture’s plans. Please don’t allow Puerto Rico to be associated with a facility that profits from extreme animal abuse.”
Don’t you just love Benicio? Talented and sensitive. Sigh.

Sean Penn is known as temperamental hombre in Hollywood but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his good points. The actor stood up for Benicio del Toro’s lack of Oscar recognition for his role as Che in the movie Guerrilla, telling an Australian weekly:
“The fact that there aren’t crowns on (Che director Steven) Soderbergh’s and Benicio Del Toro’s heads right now, I don’t understand.
That is such a sensational movie, Che. Benicio is f**king good in it. And the fact that I’m not running into these people on this awards-party circuit, it’s crazy.
“Maybe because it’s (Che) in Spanish, maybe the length, maybe the politics.”
Not sure Sean, but Benny Boy is still young and he’ll get another Oscar. One day. And I bet he appreciates your goodwill.

Ana Serradilla is on the cover of Revista Open. The actriz had a lot to say about her craft:
Los actores somos muy inseguros y siempre tenemos miedo de quedarnos sin trabajo; por eso, a veces tomas lo que te ofrecen. Al principio de tu carrera todos dicen que hagas todo, pero es un grave error. Debes seleccionar muy bien desde el principio.
We actors are really insecure CONTINUE READING
