As the Mariachi's formidable adversary, Joaquim De Almeida portrays Bucho. The Portuguese star who has appeared in more than forty internationally acclaimed films, joins the cast following his recent success starring with Harrison Ford in the 1994 summer hit, Clear and Present Danger, in which he played Felix Cortez, the chameleon-like intelligence officer for the drug cartel, and in TriStar's Only You, directed by Norman Jewison.

de Almeida, who is fluent in Spanish, French, Italian, German and English in addition to his native Portuguese, has worked all over the world. He has worked extensively in Europe, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States in films and countless stage productions.

The Portuguese native won the Best Actor Award at the Cairo Film Festival for his 1992 performance in Portrait De Famille and received international attention for his roles in the Taviani brothers Good Morning Babylon, Beyond the Limit and The Soldier.

On the New York stage, de Almeida appeared in several New York Shakespeare Festival productions including Blood Wedding, What Would Jeanne Moreau Do, at the WPA Theatre and The Count of Monte Cristo, directed by Peter Sellars at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
