    Captain Rodriguez from Shōgun immediately came to mind for me. I prefer John Rhys-Davies’s version over the newest on-screen rendition.

      I looked that up, since I’ve never heard of it, apparently he was Portuguese in that version, but he was turned Spanish in the most recent version. Damn, stealing the Portuguese rep they need. I’d like to know more about modern Portugal. I’ll probably do a little bit of research today.

        No, still Portuguese. The show opens with a explainer saying the Spanish went west and Portuguese went east due to the church decreeing how the world would be split amongst the two countries.

        Spaniards were half a world away.
