Marco Antonio Lopez[1] (born September 10, 1935),[2] also credited as Marco Antonio and Marco Lopez, is an American actor born in Los Angeles,[3] who played several parts in the supporting cast of Jack Webb's Mark VII Limited television series, Dragnet and Adam-12.[2][3] He also served as Webb's stand in for long shots.[4] His first Hollywood job was as a stand-in for Elvis Presley in the 1956 movie Love Me Tender.[citation needed]
In 1971, Webb offered Lopez the role that would bring him into the homes of millions of Americans weekly, that of Firefighter Marco Lopez in the Webb and Robert Cinader-produced television series, Emergency!. Like his fellow Emergency! co-star, Los Angeles County Fire Department engineer and actor , Lopez used his real name as his character name (which led to confusion that he was an actual firefighter with the LACoFD - he had never worked with the LACoFD at any time).[3]
After Emergency! went off the air in 1979, Lopez would later get roles in such television shows as MacGyver,[2] Mission: Impossible,[2] The New Adam-12, The Lloyd Bridges Show,[2] Murder, She Wrote[5] and The Six Million Dollar Man. He also appeared opposite Catherine Zeta-Jones and Julia Roberts in the movie America's Sweethearts, where he had an uncredited role as a photographer. Lopez was also one of the original "extra" crewman on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, a show he lent his visage (though seldom his voice) to from 1964 to 1968.
