antonio banderas nephew javiSpanish actor Antonio Banderas took the opportunity at the 2011 NCLR ALMA Awards in Los Angeles (being broadcast this September 16th at 8/7 Central Time on NBC) to give his support to new Hispanic talent in the entertainment industry. But he particularly wanted to share a few special words with his nephew Javier, who he took to the ceremony.

Melanie Griffith and Banderas were joined by "Javi" at the red carpet. Antonio shared with everyone that Javier would be finishing his academic studies in Los Angeles and then most likely would go to an acting school.
