DeForest Kelley, Coronado 9, “Loser’s Circle” (1960)

Here’s young De Kelley in an interesting cop drama/sci-fi crossover, or at least I assume that’s what this is, bc I can’t think of any other reason for him being cast as a dude who has to manipulate women to get their attention.

Snark aside, this is like his westerns in that not only does he look alarmingly hot in a hat, he’s a 2-D POS who dies the way he lived (albeit in a pretty sweet death scene, tumbling dramatically over the rails at the lovely Del Mar Racetrack). I can gif that, too, if anyone cares to see, but for now, my brain pretty much shorted out when he started smirking around that cigarette at the end there. 😏

Henry Darrow (born Enrique Tomás Delgado Jiménez;  September 15, 1933 – March 14, 2021) Stage, film and television character actor known for his role as Manolito "Mano" Montoya on the 1960s television series The High Chaparral.  During the 1970s and 1980s, he was seen in numerous guest starring television roles.  Darrow replaced Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as Zorro's father Don Alejandro de la Vega in the 1990s television series Zorro.

Darrow had already landed small parts in 12 movies and 75 television series when he won the role in a 1965 stage production of The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit. This brought him to the attention of television producer David Dortort, who immediately recruited him for his television western series The High Chaparral, casting him as Manolito Montoya. Making its debut on American television in September 1967 (NBC), it went on to last four seasons and was screened around the world. While on the show, both he and series' lead Cameron Mitchell became household names as the breakout stars of the show.

Darrow is the first Latino actor to portray Zorro on television. (José Suárez played Zorro in a 1953 Spanish film.) He starred in the series Zorro and Son and also has provided the voice for the animated series of The New Adventures of Zorro. He replaced Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. as Zorro's father from 1990–1994, in the Family Channel's successful series, The New Zorro.

In 1972, Darrow co-founded the Screen Actors Guild Ethnic Minority Committee with actors Ricardo Montalbán, Edith Diaz and Carmen Zapata.

In 1974-75, Darrow portrayed police detective Manny Quinlan in the first season of Harry O starring David Janssen.  The character was killed off at the end of the first season in a re-tooling of the series.

His other television credits include Wagon Train, Stoney Burke, Gunsmoke, The Wild Wild West, Bonanza, Daniel Boone, The Big Valley , Hawaii Five-O, The Mod Squad, McMillan and Wife, The Streets of San Francisco, Wonder Woman, The Waltons, Simon & Simon, Tales of the Gold Monkey, Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Golden Girls, Star Trek: Voyager, Babylon 5, General Hospital, Dynasty , Dallas, One Life to Live, Santa Barbara, The Bold and the Beautiful and many others.    (Wikipedia)
