Looking Goood! I'd have lvoed to have seen them both together & John Travolta with them too...

Well the actor who played him,

Robert Hegyes,

is Italian and Hungarian and Juan was half Russian Jewish.

But he played a Puerto Rican, right? WOW! He and Freddie could have been brothers. LOL.
Does anybody know what James Kommack's heritage was? When I was young I used to think he was Hispanic but now that I'm older I don't see that.

I think James Komack was Jewish... But i'm not sure.

I have got to come up with something cool to use as a signature. Everytime I see luvinjuan's signature I just about bust a gut laffing.

I was watching a Kotter episode where Juan is talking to one of his relatives in Spanish and seemed like he didn't know the lanquage very well. No wonder!
Boy, he IS cute, though!

He is cute! I remember hearing on the E! story that they ( I think it was Alan Sacks and Gabe Kaplan) wanted him to originally play Vinnie Barbarino. If that would have happened...Oh, BOY! He would have been America's #1 heart throb. I love John Travolta...but it would have been nice to see Robert Hedges in Face/Off with Nicolas Cage. Speaking of which...did anybody see The Family Man with Nicolas Cage? We rented it this past weekend and I could totally see Freddie in the title role. Loooking Goood!
