BIOGRAPHY:

Britt Lomond is best remembered as the sinister yet dashing Captain Monasterio, the arch nemesis of Guy Williams (I)' Zorro in the first thirteen shows of the 50's television show. The Commandante of the Pueblo de Los Angeles, Captain Monasterio was always confounded by Zorro, and his machinations were constantly foiled. A champion and expert fencer once ranked 26th in the nation amongst amateurs, Lomond, a graduate of New York University, served as a paratrooper in both World War II and the Korean Conflict. After his film career, Lomond went behind the camera, working as a director, producer, and production manager on a number of films, including Somewhere in Time (1980).
