[on Zorro (1957)] Zorro was set in California, we didn't call it a Western, but a South-Western. We called the actors 'stuntmen' because the scripts were being changed at the last minute, and to learn new dialogue and film it immediately was the real stunt. The work on Zorro was interesting. Nobody was doing any better fencing than we were, and working with the production people was fun. I could have kept doing it on and on. Hide

It was OK for him to do that once in a movie, but I knew that it wouldn't work every week on TV. It would get tiresome, not to mention this was the '50s and a show with an audience including kids.
