Javier Bardem belongs to a family of actors that have been working on films since the early days of Spanish cinema.
He was born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, to actress Pilar Bardem (María del Pilar Bardem Muñoz) and businessman José Carlos Encinas Doussinague. His maternal grandparents were actors Rafael Bardem and Matilde Muñoz Sampedro, and his uncle is screenwriter Juan Antonio Bardem. He got his start in the family business, at age six, when he appeared in his first feature, "El picaro" (1974) (A.K.A. The Scoundrel). During his teenage years, he acted in several TV series, played rugby for the Spanish National Team, and toured the country with an independent theatrical group. Javier's early film role as a sexy stud in the black comedy, Jamón, Jamón (1992) (aka Ham Ham) propelled him to instant popularity and threatened to typecast him as nothing more than a brawny sex symbol. Determined to avert a beefcake image, he refused similar subsequent roles and has gone on to win acclaim for his ability to appear almost unrecognizable from film to film. With over 25 movies and numerous awards under his belt, it is Javier's stirring, passionate performance as the persecuted Cuban writer, Reynaldo Arenas, in Before Night Falls (2000) that will long be remembered as his breakthrough role. He received five Best Actor awards and a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his portrayal.- Producer

Dacio Caballero was originally born in Gran Canaria, Spain. Where from a very early age he started to train extensively in gymnastics and various forms of martial arts. By the age 14 he decided that 'more than anything' he wanted to be a movie stuntman and began training and then subsequently worked on many different Spanish TV shows ... all whilst continuing his studies at school.
By the age of 20, Dacio started working in a theme park Terra Mítica Benidorm in Spain, which served as an incredibly valuable opportunity and experience to greatly improve his skills in handling various weapons whilst also perfecting the art of high-falls. After his time at Terra Mítica Benidorm, Dacio went to Madrid to seriously start his career working in movies, successfully securing work on-set with fights, horses, air rams, jerk backs and much more.
In a very short time, Dacio was chosen to be the double for the two main actors of the 2 most important TV series of the moment in Spain Hispania, la Leyenda and Tierra de Lobos.

After successfully completing his role in The Gunman in 2014, Dacio officially moved to London and joined into the British Stunt Register, which gave him the opportunity to participate in the new film of King Arthur (Guy Ritchie) where he was able to make sequences of action with Charlie Hunnam, protagonist of this blockbuster.
Thanks to his work he was recommended for many other great projects such as: "Game of Thrones", in the seasons 6 and 7 where it has been performing all kind of stunts and also was the double for the character Dario Naharis.
