Guillermo del Toro

Guillermo del Toro was born in Guadalajara on 9 October 1964. Trained in cinema in his home town, he learned make-up and special effects from the American Dick Smith and worked in this field for about ten years, within his own company, before directing. In 1997, his father was kidnapped in Guadalajara and released for a ransom, which led the family to leave the country. He then worked in the United States and in Spain and received several Oscars.
