He was great as Khan in 1982. He is also a 1970s American TV icon: Mr. Rourke from Fantasy Island; along with his sidekick "Tatoo"...."Da plane, da Plane".

That was a black American actor alongside Patrick Stewart in Star Trek TNG. Are were you being deep and me thick?

Patrick McGohan died too....big day. I loved the Prisoner.

[Captain Cadillac]

That sucks

He was famous for Fantasy Island... and... Chrysler Commercials! He introduced America to "Corinthian Leather"

Reference to Gilgamesh?

He also payed Khan in one of the 1960s's TV episodes of Star Trek.

Montalban had a long carreer in Hollywood, often playing Indians in many of the inumerable Westerns churned out in the 1940s and 50s.

[star trek geek mode] Yes Space Seed, when he tried to take over the Enterprise and then Kirk and co left Khan and his genetically modified friends on a habitable planet.

"Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven." [/star trek geek mode]

It makes me sad that the Star Trek original cast are dying off (Bones/Scotty etc) , always loved the original series as a child.

[Eric Mc]

I always think that the character "Dr McCoy" was the original Grumpy Old Man.

RM was also in the remake of Zorro, which was on this weekend.

Shame about Patrick as well, at least he's no longer a number, but a free man now. RIP
