Arndrake Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Just saw this. Ricardo Montalban passes away at age of 88 Of course I remember him most famously as both the enigmatic Mr Roarke from Fantasy Island, but also as the venge-filled superhuman villian from Star Trek II, which I still regard as the best of the Star Trek movies.

Arndrake Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 And of course, nobody could say 'rich Corinthian leather' like Ricardo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIL3fbGbU2o Someone had some fun with said commercial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiriusRushFan Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I thought it was really cool the way he played Khan in the original Trek series and then years later came back for the movie. I also remember the old commercials he did, advertising the Chrysler Cordoba, with it's fine Corinthian leather! lol R.I.P. Ricardo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godeater2112 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Rest in peace Ricardo! I always admired you for being one of those really outside the box unique actors. And your portrayal of Khan was undoubtedly the finest performance ever in a Star Trek film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workingcinderellaman Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I had no idea he was that old. He will be missed. On a side note, and I hope this isn't out of taste, but I wonder if his coffin was lined with Corinthian leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same interior, same color, except for a white vinyl top. One of the best cars I ever had. My first thought, too, was of Khan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireBiscuits Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Awww yeah I saw this late last night. So sad, I will have to watch Star Trek II tonight in his honor. Maybe "Space Seed" too. He made such a great and charismatic villain- a wonderful actor. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
