And Khan, too

ricardo montalban 234x300 And Khan, too

We lost Patrick McGoohan yesterday and Ricardo Montalban today.  There are a few actors who had long careers but will always be defined by one or two roles – ‘Fantasy Island’ and ‘Star Trek II’ being the obvious candidates for Montalban, although I have a soft spot for him in ‘The Naked Gun’.  A long life – 88 years may not be what it used to be, but it’s still a good run at it.  Would have enjoyed seeing The Prisoner and the plastic-chested one spar together.  Rest in peace, both of you gentlemen.

    And who can forget the Chrysler commercials?

    I will miss Montalban – could there have been two better actors to go “head-to-head” than in “Wrath of Khan”?

    DeNiro and Pacino? Give me Montalban and Shatner…..RIP.

    How strange, I was watching The Naked Gun on Sunday night and had forgotten Montalban was in it.

    Did he ever play a Bond Villain? He would've made a great Bond villain..

    88, good innings, RIP.

    perhaps he could have played the 'Franz Sanchez' role?!? Franz Sanchez
