Ricardo Montalban dies

Actor Ricardo Montalban has died. He was 88.

He was famous for being in many TV shows and movies, etc., but perhaps he was best known to many in the role he played of "Khan" in the movie "Star Trek - The Wrath Of Khan". That movie role was based on a "Star Trek" TV episode in which Mr. Montalban also played the role of "Khan".

He also played the role of "Mr. Roark" on the hit TV show "Fantasy Island".

I believe he was also in one of the "Witch Mountain" movies.

He was a great actor, and will be missed. Condolences to his family. :tombstone: :rose:

I certainly mourn his loss. I felt he was a superb actor who brought a certain class to whatever role he was in.

I'm very sad to hear this. He was a great actor who always made his roles entertaining. He's been in so many series that I doubt anyone could name them all. This is a great loss for everyone. :(
