I was just working on a history presentation on local outlaws that included this song, Banderas singing, from the opening to Desperado. I admire the way he restores order.

And, of course, he opens Once Upon a Time in Mexico with a little guitar work…

Oh, no. Banderas does not stop there. “Oh, What a Circus!” from Evita, at the Royal Albert Hall.

And, of course, the man can dance, too. Damn him. A tango with Catherine Zapata.

I cannot think of an actress who stunned me more than Catherine Zeta-Jones in 1998’s Zorro. So let’s allow Banderas to dance with her, too. “That is the way they are dancing in Madrid these days.”

Just one more point. Any guy whose friends carry guitar cases that double as rocket launchers HAS to be my kind of guy.
