Although he had a lengthy career in show business, his greatest fame
came during a period of only five years in which he worked for Walt
Disney. Famous for his pantomime routines, Walt Disney casted him as the
Spanish mute butler Bernardo on the hit television series "Zorro"
(1957). This performance led to major roles in Disney's live action features "Toby Tyler" (1960) and "Babes in Toyland" (1961).
