Uh... Benicio del Toro is from Puerto Rico,right??? I think Hector Elizondo is... American? He was the guy in the Princess Diaries, right?

yeah, hector elizondo is in the princess diaries and pretty women, and many other movies. he is funny!

and yes, you are correct about both of them. my spanish class was like "no, they are mexican..." and i was like "no..." plus, it was weird because they were on the same question, so the book says they are from the same country, which they are not!

Actually my first thought was Mexico for Benicio del Toro because I related him to that movie Traffic which took place in Juarez, Mexico... but I thought I remembered hearing he was from Puerto Rico. I wasn't sure about Hector, but he doesn't have an accent or anything so I just guessed the US. So ANYWAY...

It's weird about the book, too! OF course they do list Jennifer Lopez as being from Puerto Rico when she was born in NY in my spanish book... so maybe they just do it according to decsent?
