Q: I was just re-watching old "X-Files" episodes and saw the one about the Jersey Devil. I immediately recognized the actor playing the professor who helps them. Who is he and why do I know him?
Who is Gregory Sierra? He's Julio Fuentes from "Sanford and Son," Det. Sgt. Chano Amenguale from "Barney Miller" and Lt. Lou Rodriguez from the formative first few episodes of "Miami Vice" (rumor has it he quit because he hated living in Miami).
You may know him because he's one of the great Latino character actors. If you owned a TV anywhere from the '70s through the '90s (or you've watched reruns of those shows later), you've seen him steal at least one scene from the show's top-line stars.

Cyrano
The brave, quick-witted and dazzlingly talented writer and soldier Cyrano de Bergerac (Dinklage) is deeply in love with his close childhood friend, Roxanne (Bennett). However, despite their intimacy as friends, he finds himself unworthy of her love due to his internalized opinion he is ugly due to his short stature. As Roxanne is being courted by the duplicitous De Guiche (Mendelsohn), she falls head over heels in love with a member of Cyrano's regiment, Christian (Harrison Jr.). As Christian tries to reciprocate his love for Roxanne, he finds himself unable to do so and unwittingly relies on Cyrano's exceptionally crafted words -- an expression of the writer's deep unrequited love. "Cyrano" is a musical adaptation of Edmond Rostand's 1897 play "Cyrano de Bergerac."
