Javier Ángel Encinas Bardem (born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in Canary Islands, Spain March 1, 1969) is a Spanish actor.

Bardem does not know how to drive and consistently refers to himself as a "worker" and not an actor. Bardem is an Atheist; following the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Spain in 2005, Bardem incited controversy when he stated that if he were gay, he would "get married tomorrow, just to mess with the Church" (mañana mismo, sólo para joder a la Iglesia).
