The site owner
My name is Essi and I’m the owner of this fanlisting. To make an incredibly long and boring story short, I’m a 25-year-old girl from Finland. I’m a Bachelor of Culture and Arts who currently writes film reviews. I’ve been designing websites for over ten years, it’s a very dear hobby of mine.
I love movies, journalism, pop & media culture, House (the TV series), British comedy shows, London, travelling, Garfield and cats. I’m a huge admirer of Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, Robert Downey Jr. and Conan O’Brien, to mention a few.

Why I like Benicio
He’s unbelievably gifted, magnetic, beautiful — just plain cool. He’s truly an actor’s actor, and I hold tremendous respect for his dedication to his craft. I also admire him for the fact that he doesn’t pursue fame or recognition, but lets his talent speak for itself — and it certainly speaks volumes.
I love him for his fearlessness in choosing roles, which has defined his distinct and unique image, in my opinion, as one of the most fascinating actors ever.
Director Terry Gilliam said it the best: “He draws the camera like a magnet because he keeps coming up with things that are dark, brooding, dangerous and sexy.” I couldn’t agree more and I’m extremely honoured to run the fanlisting for Benicio!
Judging by many interviews I’ve seen or read, Benicio seems to be very down-to-earth, considerate, funny, intelligent and modest. In other words, awesome.
My favourite films are 21 Grams, Traffic, Snatch, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Usual Suspects. I’ve also seen Che: Part One & Part Two, Sin City, The Hunted, The Pledge, Excess Baggage, Joyride, China Moon, Fearless and Licence to Kill.
