Ed Brown was on a TV show where was a grouchy old man who ran a garage and auto shop, who was interrupted when this Latino ended up having misadventures with him. Grandpa Joe Bucket is a character from a famous book and movie (and its remake), who was retired, but accompanied his grandson to the factory where he used to work, when his grandson managed to get a guided tour of the now-restricted factory.
No idea what movie had a grandfather accompany a grandson to a FACTORY? What kind of factory could the grandson possibly WANT to visit, and have to actually WIN a tour of?
2 of the names ring a bell. I thought Phil Lemar may do voiceover work. Do I have my Ferrer's correct, and Miguel is the one that played Cyrano, or is this Ferrer the son of the one that played Cyrano?
Since I'm asking anyway, how about "FRIAR LAWRENCE"? That is, the clerical fellow in "Romeo and Juliet" that gives Juliet the potion that puts her in a coma and makes her APPEAR dead until it wears off? IIRC, that Ferrer was the son of the one that played Cyrano.
I keep thinking of the Flash's Rogues Gallery- but only because Justin Hartley's name reminds me of Hartley Rathaway, who IS a Rogue.
ONE name would give it away immediately? Then it's no Rogue, it's someone who has a recognizable actor playing them- and exactly one. That narrows the field considerably.
How about "AQUAMAN", with Jason Momoa being the missing name? You've got another Pacific Islander type name in the list already posted.
That Pacific islander played the young Aquaman in "Aquaman." Yes. Momoa would have given it away. The other actors were voices for Aquaman in various cartoons.
Smallville had a mini-Justice League including Superman (Tom Welling); Green Arrow (Justin Hartley); Aquaman (Alan Ritchson); Cyborg (Lee Thompson Young); and Impulse (Kyle Gallner). Other recurring roles included Black Canary (Alaina Huffman) and Martian Manhunter (Phil Morris).

He was looking for it to use as a clue in a game round a few weeks after he was looking for it. Meanwhile, I hope he posts the next one soon.

Refreshing the page after submitting works, too. George

Well ... yeah. I was about 15 when it came out. (Saw it a couple of years later, when I was in college.) Fonda DID win the Best Actress Oscar for the performance. George

The show is probably Chico and the Man, and I can see the actor's face, but I don't remember his name.

It's unfortunate you don't remember his name. How about the movie role?

Nope. I know I'll recognize the name, but I'm not getting it.

Is this an old version of Willy Wonka?

In this case, it's the "classic" version, with what looks like an actual factory in at least some of the scenes.
So, you know 2 roles, and can probably picture the actor.

I would have thought that you'd recognize a couple of the other actors.
Anyway, not Cyrano.

Raf is a lot closer. Hartley DID play Green Arrow on Smallville. Ritchson played the character in question on Smallville.
One name would give it away immediately.

I rarely watched the show, but didn't Impulse carry a bunch of fake IDs, including "Jay Garrick" and "Barry Allen"?

Yes. The show often had little "Easter eggs."
One of the funniest exchanges happened when Bart was imprisoned by Luthor:
Bart: "I want to be released!"
Luthor: "I want a ponytail. Disappointment abounds."
