In The Usual Suspects, Benicio del Toro plays the character of Fenster, who has a very unusual accent.

Is this an accent from anywhere in the world, or is it something del Toro made up for the film?



Best Answer

In a few interviews Benicio Del Toro decided that he was playing a "Black Chinese Puerto Rican Jew"

Some of the websites where he describes his choice are blocked (I'm at work)
