Character Actor

Henry Calvin (born Wimberly Calvin Goodman; May 25, 1918 – October 6, 1975)  Actor known for his role as the Spanish soldier Sergeant Demetrio Lopez Garcia on Walt Disney's live-action television series Zorro (1957–1959).

In 1952, he portrayed Big Ben on the children's TV series Howdy Doody.

His character in Zorro, Sergeant Demetrio Lopez Garcia, was a comedic foil for Zorro and his secret identity, Don Diego de la Vega (Guy Williams). Sometimes a friend (especially to Diego), sometimes a reluctant foe, Garcia is constantly outwitted by other characters, and is often his own worst enemy due to his weakness for food and wine. 

After Zorro and his Disney contract ended, Calvin guest starred in numerous television series during the 1960s. In his appearance on a 1963 episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show, his character performed a comedy sketch as Oliver Hardy, opposite Dick Van Dyke's Rob Petrie character as Stan Laurel.

Other TV series he appeared in: 

Petticoat Junction (in "The Ringer", 1963) as Pixley Fats

The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. (in "The Prisoner of Zalamar Affair", 1966) as Sheikh Ali Hassen

Run, Buddy, Run (in "Grand Mexican Hotel", 1966) as Jose

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (in "The Monks of St. Thomas Affair", 1966) as Brother Peter

Mannix (in "The Cost of a Vacation", 1967) as Lazaro Figueroa
