Franco has Portuguese (from Madeira) heritage from his father. That sounds pretty Latin to me. I suppose it isn't Hispanic in the same way a Brazilian wouldn't count as Hispanic, but it's still pretty close. Castro himself had a father from Spain and was pretty light-skinned.

Ha ha, just checked out a map and found that Madiera is quite close to the Canary Islands, which is where Castro's mother hails from. Ethnically, Franco is a pretty good match for the part.
