I've not watched Ugly Betty, so I haven't noticed either, but... you
haven't played the game? You do know it's one of the greatest games
ever, right?

I know that almost everyone considers it one of the best adventure games
of all time, but after seeing trailers and previews of it, I just
couldn't get interested. If I can find a copy, I may try it just to be
able to say I've played it.

Could somebody spoil it, please? I didn't notice any adventure games in
his credits at IMDB.

Tony Plana plays Ignacio Suarez on "Ugly Betty" and played Manny
Calavera in _Grim Fandango_.

Strange reason to play a game. But you wont be disappointed.

There's loads available on UK Ebay at the moment - the maximum price is 5.00
GBP (although I notice that one international seller has it for $40 +P&P -
good luck with that).

Hopefully. There are some that disliked the controls, and others that
simply disliked the game, but most of us did find it great.
