Francisco Bosch (born 5 October 1982) is a Spanish actor and dancer. He was born in Valencia. His interest in dance began when his grandmother took him to a meeting of her flamenco group when he was five years old. He began his dance training at Conservatorio Professional de Danza in Valencia and continued study at the Conservatorio de Danza in Madrid then joined Nacho Duato's Compania Nacional de Danza. In 2002, he joined the English National Ballet.
He played Bagoas opposite Colin Farrell in the 2004 Oliver Stone film Alexander. Their love scene was cut before distribution, as it was said to be too explicit. The dance scene shown in the movie has been detailed in Suzanne Gielgud's Dancing For Oliver documentary where Francisco is also interviewed.
Francisco has also completed filming in the 2006 films Nina's Heavenly Delights and Russell Mulcahy The Curse of King Tut's Tomb TV series. Francisco will appear in the The Magic Flute 2006 adaptation of Mozart's opera by Kenneth Branagh. His next movie project is with Layke Anderson in House of Boys by Jean-Claude Schlim.
Famous quotes containing the word francisco:
“Mr. Wiggam, I want you to change the policy of The Clarion. I want you to write a story I should have written myself long ago. I want you to tell the people of San Francisco that no city can exist without law and order. Write a story about that flag, write about what verifies and brings a promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There are some people in this town who don’t seem to know that. Let The Clarion tell them.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
