#26 Emilio Delgado
Emilio Delgado’s portrayal of Luis on Sesame Street will be greatly missed. From 1971 until 2016, as part of a revitalization of the series, the talented actor appeared as the Fix-it Shop owner on the show. His warm smile and rich, sonorous voice are what people remember most about him.
While Delgado did appear in other TV and film roles, Luis was by far his most famous and well-liked creation. He lost his courageous two-year fight against multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells, at the age of 81.
