Antonio Banderas kam nach Hollywood und Führungskräfte sagten ihm: „Sie sind hier, wie die Schwarzen und Hispanics, um die Bösen zu spielen.“

> “They said, ‘You are here, like the blacks and the Hispanics, to play the bad guys,’” Banderas told the publication about pivoting from Spanish movies to Hollywood productions. “The problem was a few years later I had a mask, hat, sword and cape and the bad guy was Captain Love, who was blond and had blue eyes.”

> “Even more important is ‘Puss in Boots,’ because it’s for young kids,” Banderas added about stepping into hero roles. “They see a cat that has a Spanish, even an Andalusian accent and he’s a good guy.”
