steady drizzle was falling the night Denis Villeneuve’s Sicario thrilled the Toronto International Film Festival, yet Benicio Del Toro happily engaged with the crowd outside the Princess of Wales Theatre.
The damp but undaunted actor signed autographs, posed for selfies and generally seemed to be enjoying himself, very much unlike his brooding and mysterious character in the film — and indeed in most of his movie roles, even before his 1995 breakout one in The Usual Suspects.
“They were out there in the rain! It’s the least I can do, eh?” Del Toro, 48, told the Star the next day. He was dressed all in black, but his mood was sunny.
“They were waiting there and they have their (autograph) notebooks. I do it for them. I told all of them, ‘You’ve got to go see this movie! I’m not doing this for nothing!’”
His enthusiasm is infectious and understandable. Sicario, opening Friday,puts the Puerto Rican-born actor in the same U.S.-Mexico drug war milieu as Traffic, the 2000 Steven Soderbergh film that won Del Toro the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. There’s serious talk of another Oscar for him.
His predatory character Alejandro in Sicario, a Mexican operative involved in an FBI and DEA sting on an entrenched and violent drug cartel, is decidedly more threatening than the conflicted cop Del Toro played in Traffic. But he similarly radiates a sense of righteousness out of the gloom, which he was happy to discuss.
