Luis Tosar

Luis Tosar is the sort of actor whose face on a poster makes me trust the film before I know anything else. A Galician from Lugo Province, he has built one of the most respected careers in Spanish cinema, winning a Goya for both supporting and lead roles plus a Silver Shell at San Sebastián. What I value is his range: he can be genuinely menacing one moment and tender the next, all carried in that grounded, unshowy presence. He produces too, which tells me he cares about the whole work, not just his part. He is, to me, an actor who can shoulder an entire picture, and that is a rare gift.
