You were a personable and familiar face on television and the big screen, impressing my childhood with your portrayal of Julio Fuentes on the smash sitcom, Sanford and Son.
You were also a regular on Barney Miller and Soap, as well as making strong impressions on The Mod Squad; Kung Fu; The X-Files; All in the Family, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air; Zorro and Son; Something is Out There; and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
On the feature route, you covered Beneath the Planet of the Apes; The Clones; Honey, I Blew Up the Kid; John Carpenter's Vampires; Papillon; The Culpepper Cattle Co.; Machismo: 40 Graves for 40 Guns; Wrath of God; the Castaway Cowboy; Red Sky Morning; Weekend of Terror; The Towering Inferno; The Thief Who Came to Dinner; The Laughing Policeman; Let's Get Harry; The Night They Took Miss Beautiful; The Trouble With Spies; Goodnight Jackie; Mean Dog Blues; A Low Down Dirty Shame; and Ray Bradbury's The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit.
You were an actor I always sought out, Mr. Sierra: a great guy of great talent. Your passing touches a special part of my heart, and forever in my heart, you'll remain.
