” The Cisco Kid”
Posted By thecircusblog on September 18, 2011
Duncan Renaldo ” The Cisco Kid”, Starred as a Mexican Vaccaro or cowboy in western movies and later he had a TV series in the mid 1950’s. His character was typical of those days ….he portrayed the good guy. He and his sidekick “Pancho”, Leo Carrillo were always helping people in trouble and catching the bad guys. There was a positive attitude in the shows of those days and they set a good example for the young kids.
Duncan did a lot of personal appearances and in 1956 he was a special guest star on the Clyde Beatty circus. After a few weeks into the season because of business being very poor they had to let him go. The Beatty show even closed earlier that year. I believe Ringling had problems that year and closed early that year as well.
