What The Cast Of No Country For Old Men Is Doing Today

The best-remembered performance in "No Country for Old Men" is that of Javier Bardem as the terrifying Anton Chigurh. Since winning an Oscar for the role, Bardem has remained a major star in both the U.S. and his native Spain.

In Hollywood, Bardem followed up "No Country ..." with another memorable villain turn, this time on an even bigger stage, as Raoul Silva on "Skyfall" — a performance that once again earned him multiple awards and nominations. Additionally, he has collaborated with directors like Terrence Malick and Ridley Scott, often giving himself wholly to highly controversial auteurist visions, as he did most recently in Darren Aronofsky's "mother!"

In Spain, meanwhile, Bardem continued to build on an already well-established career, earning a third Oscar nomination for "Biutiful" and partnering up again with his longtime director Fernando León de Aranoa for the Pablo Escobar biopic "Loving Pablo." Bardem and de Aranoa are working together again on "The Good Boss," a satirical comedy that began filming last October (via Variety). Bardem has also branched out to the rest of Europe, starring in British filmmaker Sally Potter's Golden Bear-nominated "The Roads Not Taken" (pictured above).

Fans of his Hollywood work can expect to see him this year in "Dune" as Fremen leader Stilgar, but that's not all Bardem has in store. He has also been cast as King Triton in Disney's upcoming live-action remake of "The Little Mermaid," and as Desi Arnaz in Aaron Sorkin's Lucille Ball biopic "Being the Ricardos" — a casting choice that spurred controversy, per Remezcla. This will be yet another instance, following "Eat Pray Love" and "Loving Pablo," of Bardem, a white European, playing a Latin American character.
