Emilio Delgado, Actor Who Played Luis on Sesame Street RIP

Emilio Delgado, who played Fix-it Shop owner Luis Rodriguez on Sesame Street for 45 years, has died. He was 81.

The Mexican-American actor was surrounded by family when he died Thursday at his home in New York City, his wife Carole Delgado. Emilio had recently been in hospice care after he was diagnosed with Multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, in December 2020.

Born May 8, 1940, in Calexico, California, Emilio spent his early childhood living with his grandparents just across the border in Mexicali, Mexico. He made his onscreen debut in 1968 with the Emmy Award-winning Canción de la Raza, the first Mexican-American soap opera.

Emilio joined Sesame Street as Luis in 1971 and, with the exception of a brief hiatus in 1988, remained on the show until 2016. He continued appearing with the show's cast at public events and returned for Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration in 2019.

The actor's credits also include episodes of Hawaii Five-0, Falcon Crest, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, House of Cards and The Get Down.
