Cat. #0008412: LEO CARRILLO

Nifty vintage 7.5 x 9.5-inch black and white sepia-tone western portrait, shown atop his trusty steed, boldly signed in blue fountain pen with an inscription in blue fountain pen for noted collector Eric Moorhouse in the 1930s. In good condition, with slightly trimmed borders. Typically cast as excitable, malaprop-spewing Spaniards and Italians, great character actor Leo Carrillo is best remembered as Pancho on T.V.'s "The Cisco Kid" (1950-1955), opposite Duncan Renaldo. He appeared in several horror films, portraying Tobias Clump in Horror Island (1941), Signor Ferretti in Phantom of the Opera (1943) and Jerry in the Olsen and Johnson horror-themed comedy Ghost Catchers (1944).
