Where Have I Seen That Face Before?
John Vargas (Leonardo Santavos) has appeared in many TV soaps including "Days Of Our Lives", "General Hospital", "Santa Barbara' and "The Young And Restless". His movie roles include "Zoolander", "Primary Colors" and "Star Trek: The Wrath Of Khan". He's also appeared in an episode of "Sliders".
David Palffy (Mariano Cuchillo) appeared in The X-Files episodes "Max" and "Tempus Fugit" as well as episodes of "First Wave" and "Stargate SG1". Movie roles include "Storm" and "Full Metal Jacket".
Silvio Pollio (Emanual Morales) has been in the movies "Alive" and "American Dragons" plus an episode of "Sliders". He was the writer/director/star of a movie called "The Way It All Went Down".
Jim Fyfe (Kimmy The Geek Belmont) appeared in the "Pilot" as the same character. For further information see The X-Files episode "3 Of A Kind" where he played Jimmy The Geek.
Trivia:
This episode is the one with Zuleikha Robinson's favorite scenes in it. She really enjoyed the dancing. Bruce Harwood, on the other hand, didn't care for the dancing, and hopes he doesn't have to do it again. For this episode, the entire cast had to take Tango lessons!
Apparently, the director's cut of this episode ran somewhere between 15 and 20 minutes long. There's a ton of missing footage, including some long dialogue scenes.
Music in this episode, by session musicians, is "Gypsy Tango", "Tango de la Pasion", "Tango Boca", "Tango Romantico", "Argentina", "Mystery Tango", "Tango Nervioso", "El Machista", "Neuvo Tango", "Tango a la Tuna" and "Passionate Tango"
The title translates as "The Gunmen Tango" or "The Lone Gunmen Tango", since, in Spanish translations, the Lone Gunmen are called "Los Pistoleros" rather than "Los Pistoleros Solitarios".
