Rodolfo Acosta(1920-1974)

Although he had many television series appearances to his credit, Rodolfo Acosta didn't become a series regular with a recurring role until 1967 when he was cast as Vaquero, the domestic ranch hand, for the first two seasons of The High Chaparral (1967-1969). He was dropped from the series because he developed a drinking problem. He ultimately died of liver cancer.
