Zorro (Guy Williams) 1957 - 1961



Zorro is an American action-adventure drama series produced by 
Walt Disney Productions. Based on the well-known Zorro character, 
the series premiered on October 10, 1957 on ABC.

Don Diego de la Vega (portrayed by Guy Williams) is depicted 
as a former University student, newly recalled by his father from 
Spain to his home outside El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora Reina de 
los Ángeles sobre El Rio Porciuncula (later shortened as Los Angeles). 
Just before reaching California, Diego learns of the tyranny of Captain Monasterio, and realizes that his father, Don Alejandro, summoned 
him to help fight this injustice. Although he won medals for his fencing 
back in Spain, Diego decides that his best course of action is to conceal 
his ability with a sword, and to affect the demeanor of a milquetoast
intellectual rather than a decisive man of action. His alter ego, Zorro 
operates primarily at night, taking the direct action that Diego cannot. 
This deception does not always sit well with Diego, especially as it affects 
his relationship with his disappointed father. In reality, Diego relies heavily 
on his wits, both with and without the mask on. Later in the series, Diego emerges as a respected figure in his own right, a clever thinker and loyal 
friend who just happens to be hopeless at swordplay.
