Ricardo Montalban off to the next great journey

January 15th, 2009 by eliz · 3 Comments

The man who brought us Khan lives no more.  Ricardo Montalban passed away yesterday morning at the age of 88.

CJ honors the passing of a great contributor to the geek world, from his roles as Star Trek’s Khan, to movies including Naked Gun and Spy Kids, and of course Fantasy Island.  There are also many CJ’ers who are fans of the series Kim Possible which he contributed to recently.

Raise a glass of Romulan ale and toast farewell with us!

    He was a class act.

    Thank you for mentioning Kim Possible. He was brilliant as the villain Señor Senior, Sr. but none of the obits are mentioning that. And ditto what JawaJames said. He really was a class act. He will be missed.

    Ricardo Montalban must have been a contender for Lady’s Man of the year at least a few times during his lifetime
