Another memorable actor from my youth has passed this week. Not only have we lost 'Number 6', but now Khan.
Ricardo Montalban, aged 88, passed away yesterday http://www.imdb.com/news/ni0649192/
Not only is he known my Star Trek fans as possibly the greatest Nemesis Kirk ever had, Khan Noonien Singh, he was also known to many as the enigmatic Mr Roarke, owner of Fantasy Island, in the TV show of the 70s and early 80s. Not forgetting memorable roles such as the scheming Vincent Ludwig in Naked Gun, and the Grandfather in Spy Kids films. He even was willing to portray parodies of himself in animation, such as his voicing of the evil Armondo Guitierrez in Freakazoid (where he mocked many of his Khan lines).
May he rest in peace.
