Help! Who played El Puerco (sp?) and Juan Two?


Both of those guys are so familiar and I just can't think of who they are.
I totally forgot that Nancy Short (Marty's late wife) played Annie. I read Martin's memoir and must have forgotten. SO many ladies on this show died from the same thing, which is awful and curious.

Great cast. Just watched Chester waited on by NORM! from Cheers :)

Carlos 'El Puerco' Valdez played by Gregory Sierra. I remember him best from Barney Miller (1974)

Juan One played by Joe Mantegna

Juan Two played by Laurie Faso (Laurence}

Juan Three played by Chico Martínez

I'd completely forgotten there was a Juan 2 and 3. Joe Mantegna's Juan One was quite comical, but then so was the entire series 

I hated the 'El Puerco' storyline, but loved Joe Mantegna as Juan One. He's one of the few things that made the last season bearable.
