While studying at the University of California in San Diego, where he is taking an economics course, del Toro enrolls in an acting class which soon captures him.

The following year he plays Benny Dalmau in Julian Schnabel’s “Basquiat”, which earned him his second Independent Spirit Award, and then plays Gaspare Spoglia in Abel Ferrara’s “Fratelli – The Funeral”.
