My favorite actress is Pilar Lopéz de Ayala. I loved her performance in "Juana La Loca".

"¡¡¡LOCA ESTOY LOCA!!!...¡lo-ca!....."

Chus Lampreave AND Santiago Segura por supuesto!

The best actor also happens to be the most beautiful man I've ever laid eyes on: Eduardo Noriega.

Since I wrote my thesis on Spanish film, I have to chime in here. The classic actor Fernando Fernan Gomez has to be mentioned, and I really enjoy the work of Eduardo Noriega (you have to see "Abre los ojos"--he puts Tom Cruise's performance in the US remake to shame). But if we judge on looks, my favorite without a doubt is Penelope Cruz, and she's not a bad actor, either.

Another one of my favorite Spanish actresses is Elsa Pataky. She was great in "El Arte de Morir". However, I still think she shouldn't have been killed off early in the film. Kind of pissed me off though.
