    Is he the who sells the Nativity Cross on TV?

    So that is why he was not on tv or in more movies, because he was in a wheel chair? What a waste, darn I loved that mans voice, and I can say that about very few actors in Hollywood. Sean Connery and Patrick Stewart are two others that will make me buy a movie ticket every time. My Mother was the same way, she worked the car hops in California in the 60′s, Telly Savalas would drive in every now and again, she loved his voice and smile.. and yes the bald head as well. Ricardo was a great actor, I will miss him.
