Ay Caramba, Dictador not really a Latin American.

Warning: Spoilers
"Ahh, chihuahua!"" The actor who was playing the Dictador with a Spanish ascent was born in Jerusalem.

This confirmes no episode of series had no Latin Guest Stars . The episode was excellent. But the role could have been played by Desi Arnaz, Ricky Ricardo of the show I love Lucy.

All my life I thought actor Nehemiah Persoff in the title role of Pancho Hernando Gonzales Enriques Rodriguez, El Presidente of the South American Republic of Ecuarico, was believable as a Hispanic. He did wonderful role as a exiled to a life of solitude on Gilligan's island after his regime has been overthrown. He was vile with the use of his pistol as he takes control of the castaways as their new President. They try to get him to empty his gun of bullets. It's appropriate and sexy to see Ginger eliminating all of the President's bullets. It was frightening revealing in the dream sequence that Gilligan is to be nothing but a 'puppet ' complete with strings.

As El Presidente was going back to his country, the boat had three passengers. They had enough room for one more passenger, like professor, so that he is able to contact the authorities to come rescue the castaways in the island. But then it would have ended the series and no more episodes. As Gilligan quoted :Buenas Noches. Good Night.
