Leopoldo Antonio Carrillo (Carrillo's autobiography phonetically spelled what his family considered the correct Castilian pronunciation: "The name is pronounced "Cay-reel-yo"' with a liquid Castilian double "l". It is not pronounced "Care-reeyo" with the "y" for double "l" as in Mexico. The Mexican adaptation of Spanish is a beautiful variation in itself, but we of Castilian lineage prefer the original liquid sound for the double "l". It is part of our heritage."} ✦August 6, 1880 – September 10, 1961) was an American actor, vaudevillian, political cartoonist, and conservationist.[1] He was best known for playing Pancho in the television series The Cisco Kid (1950–1956)[2] and in several films.
