Adios to Ricardo Montalban

[Rutabaga]

I know a lot of people think of Fantasy Island right away when they hear Ricardo Montalban's name, but to me, he will always be Khan, one of the best movie villains of all time. Mr. Montalban died today at the age of 88. He was definitely one awesome hombre, and I will miss him.

From Hell's heart, I stab at thee. For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee.

He was a great actor.

Sadness :(

[Darth McBain]

Yeah, saw that yesterday and was saddened by it. I always think of him as Khan and the bad guy from the Naked Gun before I think of Fantasy Island --- could never get into that show... Oh, and of course he was the subject of debate as to "Who is more macho" on SNL - If I recall he just beat out Fernando Lamas???

Shame - he was a good actor.

Also that is two older actors that have died this week. Patrick McGoohan most famous for the TV show the prisoner and as the evil King Edward in Braveheart died Tuesday.

I also heard about Patrick McGoohan...that makes me really sad too. I love The Prisoner!
