Biography
Tote was born in Watsonville, California, to parents of Castilian and French origins.[2][1] According to some accounts, as children, Tote and his brother Daniel ran away from home to join the circus; other sources say their father apprenticed them out to a circus showman.[3][4][2]
Tote Du Crow portrayed Bernardo in the silent Zorro films. Gene Sheldon later popularized this role for Disney in the late 1950s. Sheldon's depiction of that character was a full-blooded Spaniard.
He played 36 minor roles from 1915 until his death. His last film is The Blue Streak from 1926.
