Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez was an American character actor best known for his appearances in a number of John Wayne movies .Life and career Born Ramiro Gonzalez-Gonzalez in Aguilares , Texas to a Mexican American father and a Mexican born mother with identical surnames, Gonzalez Gonzalez grew up in a talent-filled home. His father was a trumpet player , and his mother was a dancer. His brother was actor Jose Gonzales-Gonzales . He left school at the age of seven to join a family act called "Las Perlitas" that toured southwest Texas. As a result, he was functionally illiterate for all of his life. As a result of his illiteracy, he memorized scripts by having his wife read them to him. Gonzalez Gonzalez married at the age of seventeen and served in World War II as a driver in the United States. After the war he performed stand-up comedy for Spanish-speaking audiences. In 1953, he appeared on the Groucho Marx NBC television quiz show You Bet Your Life under the name Ramiro G. Gonzalez, where his banter with Marx attracted notice. Marx asked him: "What does the 'G' stand for?" to which he replied "Gonzalez", and explained that both his parents had been surnamed "Gonzalez" before being married. So Marx asked: "What does your wife call you: Ramiro or Gonzalez?" He replied "She calls me 'Pedro'", triggering rare laughter from Marx. After Gonzalez performed a 15-second comic dance to strong applause, Marx complimented his guest's comedic skill, saying: "Pedro, we could do a great act together. We could make a fortune in vaudeville, you and I. What -- what would we call our act, you know, if we went out together? 'The Two Hot Tamales'?" After Pedro deadpanned "Gonzalez Gonzalez and Marx", Marx made an aside: "That's nice billing. Two people in the act, and I get third place!" John Wayne saw his appearance on the program and cast him as comic relief in a number of movies including The High and the Mighty , Rio Bravo and Hellfighters. He also made guest appearances in shows such as The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet , Gunsmoke and , as well as the Jerry Lewis film, Hook, Line & Sinker . Wayne also had Burt Kennedy write a TV series for Gonzalez Gonzalez that was never made. Gonzalez Gonzalez played extra characters behind Mel Blanc in a number of Speedy Gonzales cartoons, including "A Taste of Catnip" and "Go Go Amigo," billed generally as Gonzalez Gonzalez. As a result of playing comic relief roles, he was accused of perpetuating negative stereotypes about Hispanic men. However, Edward James Olmos said of Gonzalez Gonzalez at the time of his death that he "inspired every Latino actor." He died at his home of natural causes, and was survived by his wife Leandra and three children. He is the grandfather of actor Clifton Collins Jr.Filmography Wings of the Hawk - TomasThe High and the Mighty - GonzalesRing of Fear - Pedro Gonzales Ricochet Romance - Manuel GonzalesStrange Lady in Town - Trooper Martinez-MartinezBengazi - KamalI Died a Thousand Times - ChicoThe Bottom of the Bottle - Luis RomeroGun the Man Down - Hotel manMan in the Vault - PedroThe Sheepman - AngeloRio Bravo - Carlos RobanteThe Young Land - Deputy SantiagoThe Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin - BandidoHostile Guns - Angel DominguezHellfighters - Hernando The Love Bug - Mexican DriverHook, Line & Sinker - PerfectoThe Love God? - Jose - Jungle Guide Chisum - Mexican RancherZachariah - Pancho the Doorman Support Your Local Gunfighter - OrtizSixpack Annie - CarmelloWon Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood - Mexican ProtectionistCharge of the Model T's - SanchezDreamer - TooThere Goes the Bride - Mr. RamirezFlush - MiguelitoLust in the Dust - Mexican, Hardcase GangUphill All the Way - Chicken CarlosY... se hizo justicia Ghost Writer - Mr. CarilloDown the Drain - Amigo RodriguezRuby Cairo - Uncle JorgeThe Wonderful Ice Cream Suit - Landlord On the Set - Video Documentary Short for The High and the MightyTelevision Telephone Time - episode Felix the Fourth - Félix de la Caridad Carvajal y Soto The Sheriff of Cochise - episode - The Great Train Robbery - Manuel Pollo The Adventures of Jim Bowie - episode - Ursula - Manuel The Texan - Stampede - Pedro Vasquez - The Texan - Showdown at Abilene - Pedro Vasquez - The Texan - The Reluctant Bridegroom - Pedro Vasquez - The Texan - Trouble on the Trail - Pedro Vasquez - Bonanza - episode - El Toro Grande Cheyenne - episode - Counterfeit Gun - Hotel Clerk ' - episode - Triple Vise - Tomas The Texan - Lady Tenderfoot - Pedro Martinez - ' - episode - Baa-Baa - Pedro Hernandaz Wide Country - episode - Farewell to Margarita - The Bus Driver Gunsmoke - episode - The Quest for Asa Jahn - Bartender Perry Mason - episode - The Case of the Wednesday Woman - 'Royce' Dell Laredo - episode - The Treasure of San Diablo - Gonzales I Spy - episode - The Conquest of Maude Murdock - Jaime I Dream of Jeannie - episode - My turned On Master - Pedro Hondo - episode - Hondo and the Death Drive - Sancho The Monkees - episode - A Nice Place to Visit - Lupe Laredo - episode - Scourge of San Rosa - Liveryman Mayberry R.F.D. - episode - Sister Cities - Santos I Dream of Jeannie - episode - See You in C-U-B-A - Jose The MOD Squad - episode - Never Give the Fuzz an Even Break - restaurant Owner The Bill Cosby Show - episode - The Sesame Street Rumble - Bob Adam-12 - episode - Anniversary - Rudolf DiazGo Go Amigo - Various A Taste of Catnip - Dr. Mañuel Jose 'Olvera Sebastian Rudolfo Ortiz Pancho Jiminez Perez III Daffy Rents - Additional Voices
