[on his roles, March 9, 1975 interview] I suppose I am fairly versatile - I have played cowboys, soldiers, buccaneers, and such characters as Robin Hood and Zorro, who are very popular in Europe. Currently I am the best-known Zorro in Europe, although Tyrone Power's version was very popular. One of my three Zorro films has been shown continuously in the same cinemas for three years.
