Your television and movie appearances were vast, including regular roles on The High Chaparral (as Manolito Montoya) and Harry O (as Manny Quinlan), brushed by significant spots for the Wild Wild West; Gunsmoke; Bonanza; Kung Fu; Centennial; Daniel Boone; the Invisible Man '75; the Six Million Dollar Man; the Bionic Woman; Wonder Woman; the Incredible Hulk; Knight Rider; Rod Serling's Night Gallery (in one of my top-ten favorites, "Cool Air"); the Outer Limits; Star Trek: the Next Generation; Star Trek: Voyager; Babylon 5; Time Trax; Tales of the Gold Monkey; Airwolf; Magnum P.I.; TJ Hooker; T.H.E. Cat; the Waltons; One Life to Live; Santa Barbara; Hawaii 5-0; the Bold and the Beautiful; Mod Squad; Mission: Impossible; the Golden Girls; the New Dick Van Dyke Show; Halloween with the New Addams Family (as Pancho Addams); Exit Dying; the Writer's Pub; Angels with Angles; St. Helens; Primo; In Dangerous Company; Cancel my Reservation; Aloha Means Goodbye; L.A. Bounty; Summer and Smoke; Death Blow; Percy and Thunder; Maverick '94; the Glass Cage; the Hitcher '86; Brock's Last Case; Criminal Passion; Sniper's Ridge; Walk Proud; Blue Heat; a Life of Sin; Runaway Jury; Badge 373; Beyond the Universe; Soda Springs; and the titillating cult classic, Revenge of the Virgins.
However, it was as a masked crusader (and his parental supporters) that you truly cut your mark, first in the animated The New Adventures of Zorro (supplying our protagonist's voice) and thereafter in CBS' Zorro and Son (with Paul Regina) and the Family Channel's Zorro (with Duncan Regehr).
Your suave, sophisticated stance was impressive and contagious, courageous and debonair. You'll be dearly missed, Mr. Darrow, but always admired for what you left behind, and what you left is just too darn good to be forgotten.
