about javier
Name: Javier Ángel Encinas Bardem
Born: March 1, 1969 (He's 39.)
From: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain.
Relatives: Grandfather, Rafael Bardem; Uncle, Juan Antonio Bardem; Mother, Pilar Bardem; Brother, Carlos Bardem; Sister, Mónica Bardem.

Always hesitant to play the same type of character twice, the very foundation of Bardem's career is his remarkable ability to so immerse himself in character that audiences never even see the actor. Each role is a transformation that occurs both mentally and physically, and Bardem's hesitance to embrace celebrity culture and make a conscious effort to break into the American market has only served to make him more alluring to stateside filmmakers.
