Read this biography of a famous actor. Who is he?

Born in 1969 in the Canary Islands is the younguest member of a family of actors. He got his start in the family business at age of six when he appeared in his first feature, “El Pícaro” (The Scoundrel). Early film role as a sexy stud in the black comedy_Jamón, jamón (1992) (Ham Ham) propelled him to instant popularity. Determined to avert a beefcake image, he refused similar subsequent roles and has gone on to win acclaim for his ability to appear almost unrecognizable from film to film.He received five Best Actor awards and a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his portrayal of a strong-willed man who survived censorship, imprisonment, and homosexual intolerance for the privilege to write freely, only to commit suicide at age 47 in New York, ending a battle with AIDS.
