Polo Ortín

Polo Ortín (1928-2016) was a Mexican comedian and actor who was a frequent presence in Mexican film comedies (and occasional dramas) particularly from the 1950s to the 1990s. He guest starred on Plaza Sésamo as a less then helpful waiter in Episodio 932 and Episodio 989.
Ortín's film credits include the 1959 children's film Santa Claus (featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000) and comedy relief parts in horror fare like La invasión de los muertos (opposite luchador Blue Demon) and Cazadores de babezas. By the 1990s, he made frequent cameos in comedies or took character parts in action films, and moved on to telenovelas including a regular stint on Vecinos, as well as comedy appearances on La fea más bella (Mexican version of Yo soy Betty, la fea) and multiple series starring Eugenio Derbez.
Periodically active in dubbing, Ortín was the Spanish voice of Oliver Hardy for TV airings, Bob Denver on Gilligan's Island, Larry Fine on The Three Stooges, and later, Robin Williams on Mork & Mindy. Cartoon dubbing included the DePatie-Freleng series Here Comes the Grump (directing the dub as well as narrating), Augie Doggie and occasional others in Hanna-Barbera series, The Fox & the Hound (porcupine), and Sarge in the Cars franchise.
