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
