Where to start with this man? He has a huge bibliography, and none of his books seems particularly introductory.
The only background I have in sociology is a bit of Durkheim and Weber, is it good enough?
Who the fuck is that?
kind of looks like Tommy Lee Jones. I mean....not really....but that's the only person I can think of.

I can't really think of an introduction. I think if you already read a little of Durkheim and Weber, you can try Bourdieu. On Television is very pleasant and easy to read. I also liked The Distinction a lot. The Reproduction and The Inheritors are also great.
He has a very "particular" way to write, be warned. This isn't always beautiful and can be quite tiring when you're not accustomed to it. Though I don't know about the English translation quality.

I can read in Portuguese and Spanish too. Any recs?

sadly no, I only read him in French.
Now that I think of it, you can watch "Sociology is a martial art" by Pierre Carles as an intro, it's a documentary on and with Bourdieu. It also exists in English, Portuguese or Spanish

Here in English subtitles, the translation seems to be quite good :
