According to Bill Wall:
Actor Henry Darrow, who starred as Manolito Montoya in High Chaparral, was a good chess player. He played and won a few chess tournaments. He says he has played Fischer and he drew a game with Boris Spassky. He was born Enrique Tomas Delgado, Jr. in 1933.

Here is an interview with Henry Darrow where he says,

"When I was young, I won many [chess] championships. And I always play. I even had the luck to play against Fischer and Spasky."
