Oscar-winning actor Benicio Del Toro has been presented with an award by the Cuban government in Havana, in recognition of his body of work, reports the BBC.
‘The inaugural Tomas Gutierrez Alea prize was presented at a ceremony attended by U.S. actors Robert Duvall, James Caan and Bill Murray.
‘Their visit is seen as a sign of warming Cuban-U.S. relations.’
Puerto Rican-born Del Toro played the revolutionary Argentine Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara in two films released last year by director Steven Soderbergh.
