In the most successful Bond film to date (according to international box office), Bardem takes on the role of Bond villain, the second Academy Award winner to do so (after Christopher Walken in 1985’s A View to Kill). Bardem’s Raoul Silva is an ex-MI6 agent turned cyberterrorist who has it out for M (Judi Dench) and might have the hots for Bond (Daniel Craig). Regularly ranked as one of the best Bond villains of all time, Bardem’s performance has been praised by fans and critics alike.
