Biografía

Confessed to never having watched his performance in El pirata y la princesa (1987) due to the painful experience involved in filming the role. His character required him to wear colored contact lenses and, unknown to Smith and the costume department at the time, he was actually allergic to the lens solution used. This meant that Smith was in constant pain and discomfort throughout filming, hence why he was so reluctant to relive the memory.

Original choice to direct El mundo según Wayne (1992).

Was a friend of the British group Queen.

Was out of work when asked if he wanted to be in a new offbeat comedy series "Not the Nine O'Clock News".

Attended Oxford University in England, UK
