He appeared in several major Hollywood releases in [[1995 in film|1995]], including a starring role in the [[Robert Rodriguez]]-directed film, ''[[Desperado (film)|Desperado]]''.

He also received critical praise for his role as the fictional Mexican masked swordsman, [[Zorro]] in the 1998 film ''[[The Mask of Zorro]]'', for which he was the first Spanish actor to portray the character after over 80 years since Zorro's creation.
He has also frequently collaborated with [[Robert Rodriguez]] who cast him in the ''[[Spy Kids trilogy|Spy Kids]]'' film trilogy and the final installment in the "Mariachi" trilogy (in which he appeared with [[Johnny Depp]]), ''[[Once Upon A Time In Mexico]]''. Banderas' sole credit as a director was the poorly-received [[Crazy in Alabama]] ([[1999 in film|1999]]), starring his wife [[Melanie Griffith]].
In 2003, he returned to the musical genre, appearing to great acclaim in the [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] revival of [[Maury Yeston]]'s musical ''[[Nine (musical)|Nine]]'', based on the film ''[[8½]]'', playing the prime role originated by the late [[Raúl Juliá]].

In 2005, he reprised his role as Zorro in ''[[The Legend of Zorro]]'', though this was not as successful as the original. In 2006, he starred in ''[[Take the Lead]]'', a [[high school]]-set movie in which he played a real-life [[ballroom dancing]] teacher. That year, he also received the L.A.
