He has such a long filmography - why isn't he a bigger star?

I just saw Original Sin on DVD, one of my fave movies. That man is so sexy. I just wonder why he isn't a bigger star?

He was very big in the mid to late 90s, as he was a heart-throb and action star. His looks faded and became more of a character actor. I think he is very well known by people aged 30 and above, especially latinos.

The real reason you don't hear from Antonio Banderas anymore

He's not a bigger star because he's not that good of an actor.
He's not the worst either, but just being sexy makes you a good model, not an actor.

If Antonio looked more like me, he'd probably be a tile installer.

Nothing wrong with being a tile installer, but I thing for what he's done, he's been good at. Is he better than Salma Hayek? Well, I'm a certain type of guy, so, no, but otherwise, I like his action.

Because he can't act.
