Seriously, whenever a show from the 70's needed a hispanic, he was the only one they called. LOL

If he saved his money, this guy is probably a millionare by now. :lol:

Tell me abt it. That dude not only played hispanics, but cubans, puerto ricans and indians too. :rofl:

Things haven't changed much, when I see a show geared towards hispanics or that is hispanic-oriented, I see the same ol' hispanic actors. Geez, I know there are millions of us out there, so show them to us!!!!!! :lol: It is friggin' annoying.

Thank you for allowing me to vent Brian. ;)

He also played a Jew on All in the Family. ;)

But yeah, Sierra was the token hispanic of the 70's.

:lol: :lol:
Gregory could play a woman too if he was asked. :lol:



I don't know if you watched these movies, SELENA and MY FAMILY/MI FAMILIA, but the same actors appear in each movie. :rolleyes: Well, not all, but just abt. I can post at least 5 hispanic movies and I bet you they will have the same hispanic actors in them. :crazy:

Yeah, I hear what you are saying. I guess it is sort of the same thing with Italian actors. The same people play the same roles...and it is usually either a mobster or a cop. :lol:

I belive he was just on for a few season's

I belive he was just on for a few season's


You are right Aaron, he was just in two seasons I believe.

he was replaced on Miami Vice by Edward James Olmos, who became the token Hispanic character actor of the 80's and 90's :lol:

oddly enough, neither Sierra nor Olmos have appeared on Ugly Betty thus far

You are right Aaron, he was just in two seasons I believe.
yea, he was just in the first 2 seasons.

saw him on a episode of THEA on saturday-lol

^^Oh I am sure IMDB didn't have the time to post all of his works. These that are here are A LOT so can you imagine the ones that aren't listed?

Hard-working man indeed. He also played a gypsy in The Waltons. It is listed above.

I loved him as Volta the gypsy in the Waltons. Tara recently sent me an episode he did of Hawaii Five-O and I was :drool: the whole time!! :eyes:

I mentioned he did a lot of Westerns - he had a meaty supporting role in Kenny Rogers As The Gambler: The Adventure Continues. I loved every second of it!!! Plus, he played an Armenian (!!) on a Kung Fu episode.

An Armenian too, that's right. Damn, this dude has got skillz!!!!!! ;) He has played villians, doctors, detectives, cops, a thief (how many times?), and other sorts of characters. Talk abt versatility. :thumbsup:

Irene, he was/is indeed a very versatile actor. Too bad he got killed off more times than Kenny on South Park!!! :mad: :lol:

I am still trying to find a valid address to write to him - I would so love to get an autographed picture of him, inscribed to me and everything!!!!!

Have you checked on the internet? If so, what have you come up with?

I've checked imdb pro, google, you name it. From everything I've read, he was/is very good about signing through the mail. It's just the addresses I've tried are no longer valid. :(

Oh that is too bad. Do you at least have an idea of WHICH CITY he lives in?


BTW, here is a great article I found on him, maybe you seen this before Monika? Anyhoo it talks abt his versatile acting skills. Enjoy:

The Varied Roles of Character Actor Gregory Sierra
Long Career on Tv and in Film

By Abe, published Apr 14, 2006

Who is Gregory Sierra? You ever watch a season 1 or 2 Barney Miller rerun and get wrapped up in the comedic angst of Chano Amanaguale, the suit-and-tie eschewing Puerto Ricano detective who just wants a little respect but, like his fellow NYPD detectives at the old 1-2, seldom gets it? This is Gregory Sierra, and in fact, these reruns are where I first came across the New York-born actor’s work. Since then, I’ve been a Gregory Sierra fan, which is difficult, because the guy hasn’t really had major role in anything since then. That being said, it’s fun and worth it to put in the extra effort and track down films and tv shows where Gregory Sierra puts in an appearance. There are quite a few tiles spanning over his thirty five year (and then some) career. If you’re interested in find more roles, check out this categorized list of some great Gregory Sierra roles:

Movies Where Gregory Sierra Is Killed Off:

Deep Cover: Laurence Fishburne stars as an undercover cop who walks the thin line between criminal and law enforcer. Sierra here plays Felix Barbosa, a big time cartel capo who likes to mess with Jeff Goldblum. Eventually, this leads to his getting his unholy backside kicked. Sierra’s role is a little creepier than the usual Latino mobster. There’s a weird dynamic between him and his sychophant sidekick, too. All in all, a really dark movie.

Towering Inferno: Keep those drinks coming! As the skyscraper burns, Sierra plays Carlos the bartender. You gotta love a 70s disaster movie. Paul Newman and Steve McQueen are the stars.

Papillion: In this one, I’m pretty sure Sierra dies via a poison dart while he’s trying to escape off the prison island. Steve McQueen is the star here again. Dustin Hoffman co-stars.

Code Name: Dancer: Actually, does he get killed in this one, or not? It stars Kate Capshaw as a spy who comes back into the cold. Yeah, 'm pretty sure he gets killed.

John Carpenter’s Vampires: James Woods goes on vampire killing spree while the bulkier Baldwin brother tries to preserve his vamp-ified love interest. Sierra plays a priest in this film for about five minutes. Then it’s RIP.

Roles Where Gregory Sierra Wears A Wacky Costume:

Beneath The Planet of the Apes: I haven't actually seen this, but I'm pretty sure Mr. Sierra is an ape in this. James Gregory who would later co-star on Barney Miller as Inspector Luger stars.

Dr Quinn Medicine Woman:The Washington Affair Pts 1 & 2 (Season 3, episodes 7 & 8) Here Mr. Sierra has not only a Union calvary officer’s get-up on, but a really long wig. It’s sort of bizzarre looking, especially when he moves very much. That show had a thing about dudes with long hair. I don’t know.

Star Trek: Deep Space 9: Second Skin (Season 3, episode 5) Here, Mr. Sierra, like basically every guest star on the show, wears some funky make-up making him into an alien. Hey, did you ever think Rene Auberjonois as Odo didn’t look very different on the show than in real life? He’s a good actor, that guy.

MacGyver: Jack of Lies (Season 2, episode six) You gotta love the good old fashioned Latino commandante role and the cheesy uniform that goes with it. At least he didn’t have a wig on. His other MacGyver episode roles have him playing a captain and a colonel. I haven’t seen these roles, but I’ve got a feeling the uniforms maintain the appropriate level of cheese.

Roles Where Gregory Sierra Goes Non-Latino Ethnic

Mafia! In this zany send-up of mob movies, Lloyd Bridges plays Don Cortino, a dementia-ridden Godfather. Mr. Sierra shows up as a Bonifacio, an Italian baker who wants a favor. It’s Cortino’s daughter’s wedding, so you know he can’t refuse. Jay Mohr stars

Hot Shots! Part Deux More parody with Lloyd Bridges. This is back when Charlie Sheen was funny. Mr. Sierra plays an Arab river boat captain in what could be described as a cameo.

All In The Family:Archie Is Branded (Season 3, episode 14) Here Mr. Sierra sheds his goyim cloak and plays Jewish activist Paul Benjamin. As I recall, he refers to Archie as bubby at least once. I won't give away how it ends, but, let's just say, it fits into the first category here...

The Waltons: The Gypsies(Season 1, Episode 19): Mr. Sierra plays a gypsy, I guess, named Volta. A gypsy during the Great Depression, in Virginia. Ought to have been interesting. Good night, John Boy. Good night, Volta.

Sci Fi Sierra:

X-FilesJersey Devil (Season 1, Episode 4).
Mulder and Scully are looking for a beast that prowls around the Jersey woods. Sierra’s a university scientists who endeavors to help them. There's a pretty funny scene where they're all running along this road. Unintentionally funny I should say.

Something Is Out There
Joe Cortese and Maryam D’Abo are a human-alien crime stopping team. As Capt. Maldanado, Sierra is their boss. Aliens, alines were out there (cross reference this title with "Sierra Series that didn't quite make it" below)

The Clones
The title seems pretty self-explanatory. I’ve never seen this movie, because, well, it’s called The Clones. Co-stars Drew Barrymore’s late father.

Sierra Series That Didn’t Quite Make It

AES Hudson Street
As Dr. Victor Menzies, Sierra ran the Adult Emergency Services department at some low-income hospital. The “terminal” and “plug got pulled” puns are too obvious, so I’ll just moved on.

Common Law
Comedian Greg Giraldo, maybe best known for his appearances on the panel show “Tough Crowd” – or at least best known to me for his appearances on the panel show “Tough Crowd” tried to play a lawyer on this show. Sierra was the old fashioned dad. I think he was a barber or something. Don’t look for it coming soon on DVD.

Zorro and Son
Playing Capt. Paco Pico (break out the colonial soldier outfits…), Gregory Sierra joined a cast that included
Paul Regina and Henry Darrow. The series lasted one year in syndication.

Sierra Series Where His Character Didn’t Quite Make It

Miami Vice
Don Johnson, Phillip Michael Thomas and Edward James Olmos became 80s household names with this super hip series. Gregory Sierra? His character got killed off and replaced by Olmos.

Most Well-known roles:

Sanford & Son: Sierra played Puerto Rican transplant Julio, the Sanfords’ neighbor and fellow junk dealer. With his thick accent and country-ishways, including a pet goat (ah, the 70s, such a subtle time…) , Julio drove Fred to distraction, though he never seemed to notice.

Barney Miller
No, they didn’t kill of Chano. I think Sierra left on his own free will. The series endured for like, 8 (or is it 80…) season, growing increasingly less diverse as it went on (Man, that Leavitt was SO annoying…) Chano only lasted about one season and change.

Soap: Sierra played El Puerco, a, yes, Latin American revolutionary who hooked up with the main female character
in the final season. I’ve never seen a whole episode of this show, so, don’t take my word for it.

My personal favorite Gregory Sierra role:

The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit
This is such a cute movie, and one of the few feature films of the last fifteen years where we really get to see Mr. Sierra do anything big. A good movie for kids. Also star Esai Morales, Joe Mantenga and Clifton (Gonzalez Gonzales) Collins (late of Capote)


Where is Gregory Sierra now?

I have no idea. Maybe he’s retired. I know he’s not dead, at least not according to that website “Alive or Dead”. With more older shows coming out on DVD, you can at least catch some of his retro work. Besides the shows mentioned, he guested on everything from “Hill Street Blues” to “Murder She Wrote”.

I have indeed read that article - I even posted under it!! :lol: Ah, Irene, you know me too well.

I should have known.
:lol:
Anyways, do you know if Gregory lives in the L.A. area?

I have no idea! Maybe you can help me out on this one, Irene!! :D

Actually he wasn't the only Hispanic in the 70s - they had a female counterpart they used in everything too (especially AITF) - Liz Torres.

And of course, Freddie Prinze. Oh yeah - and "Little Emanual" that played on All In The Family too.

I have no idea! Maybe you can help me out on this one, Irene!! :D
I will try salt sister! ;)

I will try salt sister! ;)
Thank you, my dear! :D

So Greg left Barney Miller to do A.E.S. Hudson Street?

Greg wasn't in Viva Valdez, was he? :lol:

Not as far as I know...:lol:

Speaking of Liz Torres, I know she and GS appeared as husband and wife on an episode of Valerie Harper's short-lived series City, and they also were both in the 1998 flick The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit.

Actually, I think Carmen Zapata was the Gregory Sierra of the 60's and 70's :lol: Here is her info:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0953175/

Some may remember her from SISTER ACT, the nun with the spanish accent and she wore glasses.

Not only was he a hottie, but he really was a gifted actor. He was in a bazillion shows and movies - he always brought a little spice to the proceedings. Even the subpar projects he did (like The Clones) were brightened up a bit by his being there. :D

I sure was sorry to see see Gregory Leave Barney Miller

Me too! I think Chano was one of the most interesting characters on Barney Miller. He had a strong sense of right and wrong, fierce pride in himself and his work, and took his work very seriously. On the other hand, he also loved to have fun (he loved to go dancing) and had a great sense of humor. It sure would've been interesting to see Chano's character grow as the seasons went on.

I sure was sorry to see see Gregory Leave Barney Miller
You and me. He blended well with the cast and it only seemed normal to have a Puerto Rican detective on the squad since this was New York. What a great role model Chano was even though this was a comedy show.

ok, I'll ask once again......why did he leave?
Was it to do A.E.S. Hudson Street? And when that failed, he wasn't offered a chance to go back to BM?

I've never been quite able to find out exactly why he left. Between the time AES was cancelled and he landed the role of El Puerco on Soap (about a 2 1/2 year span), he did several films and a couple of episodics. I agree with Irene that Chano was a great role model. He was indeed. :D

Sorry Jude, I never knew why he was no longer on Barney Miller. I may have read abt it somewhere back in the days, but I can't recall. It would be nice to know the details. I thought for sure my salt sister would know, but it seems even she is not sure. I guess us three will have to find out that from somewhere.

Yes, we'll have to find out...and find a valid address to write him a letter!! My philosophy is that there are no problems in life, just solutions. It's just sometimes really hard finding the solutions!! :lol:

You guys are going to love this - just today, I saw him on an episode of Magnum P.I. - and he actually punched out Tom Selleck!!! :eek2: :lol: The name of the episode is "Pleasure Principle", aired in Season 8, and is now on DVD.

^ Irene, you're going to love this - in this episode he went into a (brief) Spanish speaking rant while in a nightclub as "Conga" by Miami Sound Machine blared in the background. That's when he decked Magnum. :lol:

:lol: :lol:
Gregory could play a woman too if he was asked. :lol:



I don't know if you watched these movies, SELENA and MY FAMILY/MI FAMILIA, but the same actors appear in each movie. :rolleyes: Well, not all, but just abt. I can post at least 5 hispanic movies and I bet you they will have the same hispanic actors in them. :crazy:
He DID play a woman...sort of. I'm talking about the Season 2 ep, "Heat Wave", when Chano, Wojo and Fish dressed in drag to go on park detail. He actually didn't look too bad in a dress. :lol: On the other hand, he wore a pretty ugly wig. :rofl:

Still no luck finding a valid address...:(

Since my birthday is coming up in a few minutes, why don't one of you gift-wrap Gregory Sierra and send him to my house? Please??? ;) :eyes: :rofl:

Here's a pic of him from the infamous Magnum episode. I am so jealous of that bride!! :mad: :crazy: :lol:

I loved him as Volta the gypsy in the Waltons. Tara recently sent me an episode he did of Hawaii Five-O and I was :drool: the whole time!! :eyes:



Oh me too, he was fantastic as Volta the Gypsy. He is a really good actor. ;) That was one of my favorite episodes of the Waltons. I remember it first run watching it as a kid, and I will watch that ep everytime it comes on the Hallmark channel if I am home! Gregory was HOT as a Gypsy man! ;)
