As a Mexican actor, are you afraid of being stereotyped?
There are all (these) American actors that are my age that can't do a Latin accent, and I can. So it's not a problem, it's great. Everyone is different, and, I don't want to repeat anyone else's career. I have to be proud of what I am.

You come from a family that's been in the industry awhile. Is your father, set designer Alejandro, shocked that you're more famous than he is now?
(Laughs) Yeah. He always says, "Damn it, I chose the wrong career."

Do you feel like you're becoming a Hollywood star?
I don't want to come and conquer American films, or the American market. I just want to do movies that I care about, stories that I like.

You recently worked with Steven Spielberg on Terminal. What was that like?
He was great. He's so clear about what he wants, and he goes straight for what he needs ... you feel like part of the process.

Is it true that your Terminal costar Catherine-Zeta Jones said if she weren't married to Michael Douglas that she'd date you?
(Laughs) She didn't say that. I'm so sad, but she didn't. I was waiting for that to happen, but it never happened.
