I would suspect that Wilmer is well above average. I am retired from the California movie and television industry and the rumor mill within the industry was that he was "large".
I have a question. I just started watching this show on dvd. I never really watched it when it was on tv. I bought the first 3 seasons so far. It seems like the first season started in 76, right? I'm on the second season it's 77. So, does each season go up a year? If so, then did it turn into the 80s on the show? Cuz, it lasted 8 seasons, right? That would only give them 4 years to play with the plot. I always wondered why they started off so late in the 70s.
boy thats a bit over analyzing the topic. His character was great for the show and it wouldn't have been the same without him. I am sure they didn't say hey lets put in this foreign kid who appears to be dumb and sexually misunderstood so we can reflect back and satirizes all of our 1970s American cultural prejudices, stereotypes, and ignorance about the world.
Depicting 70s USA as "American glory" is a bit much. It was a decade of decline and not much else.... Those days of American glory seem distant now, but you have to understand the cultural context of the time. The US asserted its cultural might and notions of superiority at the time ...

Some highlights:
Either you're not old enough to remember the 70s or your take on them is very different than mine.
- In Vietnam, a humiliating withdrawal from [then] Saigon.
- One word: Watergate.
- The oil "embargo" and rapid increases in energy costs.
- "Stagflation".
- Jimmy Carter said there was a "malaise".
- Iranian Embassy takeover.
