Michael Rennie in _The John Cameron Story_. He did not fare well because he did not have Gort with him.

Dan Duryea in many episodes. They should have made him a regular.

Yes, and McCullough talks him out of sacrificing his daughter, and his subjects kill him. 🙂

There was an episode of _ **Wild, Wild West** _ with an Aztec city hidden somewhere in the Southwest, except that one had a hot queen, IIRC, and (for a change) no one there spoke English. I always wondered if they were speaking real Aztec instead. 😕

[IMDB says, “Maybe”.](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0748500/trivia)

Unlike most native American languages, Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, actually spread in influence during and after European colonization. At the time of these events, it would have been fairly easy to find interpreters. In the present day, it has approximately one and a half million native speakers, more than any other North American language (Navajo comes in second with about a tenth that number).
