Javier Bardem takes a vacation
![JAVIER BARDEM seems an unlikely chameleon. The handsome, muscular former Spanish national rugby team player with the broken nose should be easy to pick out of a lineup. But perhaps the most remarkable thing about the widely acclaimed actor is his staggering versatility. After establishing hunky leading man credentials in his native Spain, he earned an Oscar nomination in 2001 for his portrayal of a fey Cuban dissident in "Before Night Falls" and was a prematurely aged, highly articulate quadriplegic in the Oscar-winning "The Sea Inside." Now, in the Coen brothers' adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel "No Country for Old Men," Bardem is a psychopathic killer, while in Mike Newell's adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez'<i>s</i> "Love in the Time of Cholera," audiences watch him age more than 50 years as an
almost invisible man who can't give up on the love of his life.](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-01/34611290-07141448.jpg "JAVIER BARDEM seems an unlikely chameleon.
