"Lost" Cast Member: Panchito Gomez as Antonio

[dvakman]

This adult cast member would have featured at the same time as Molly the Mail Lady, Tom the barkeeper and Rafael. However, he is not shown at all on Noggin. He is listed in the scrolling credits at the end of the rainstorm episode as well as in IMDB (for 1971-1972). Does anyone have a photograph or recollection of this cast member?

OK, based on his date of birth on IMDB, he might have been a featured child on the show. He is listed as being born in 1963! Interesting then that he was listed with the adults. Were children usually given that kind of billing on the show?

Hi and welcome to MC. I suggest contacting Boober_Gorg or some of the other Muppet Wiki contributors for oldest SST episodes.

Nice to meet you, Panchito.
Can you share what happened in the episodes that you appeared in?

I've read about an episode where Antonio's birthday was celebrated, and this clip (which appears on the 40th anniversary DVD set) comes from that episode. Was Antonio one of the kids seen in this clip?

That's pretty interesting and it's good to hear from you in person, Panchito. From seeing the pic in Muppet Wiki and seeing the clip there, I take it you're the one Bob is hugging at :36, but correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Wow, I'm only just reading that I got a reply from a former SS cast member! I should check up on this place more often, lol.

I used to post here a lot back when Noggin was airing "Sesame Street Unpaved".... I guess it's been ages now. Does Mark the Shark still post here? Or Boobergorg?
