He showed a strong interest in the performing arts and formed part of the ARA Theatre School run by Ángeles Rubio-Argüelles y Alessandri (wife of diplomat and filmmaker [[Edgar Neville]]) and the College of Dramatic Art, both in Málaga. His work in the theater and his performances on the streets eventually landed him a spot with the Spanish National Theatre.<ref name="starpulsebio">{{cite web|url=http://www.starpulse.com/Actors/Banderas,_Antonio/Biography/ |title=Antonio Banderas Biography |publisher=StarPulse.com |access-date=8 June 2011 |archive-date=22 December 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222162026/http://www.starpulse.com/Actors/Banderas%2C_Antonio/Biography/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
