Ricardo Montalbán passed away today. He starred in several Westerns but was probably best known as the spokesman for the Chrysler Cordoba or as Mr. Roark from Fantasy Island. However, to us geeks, he will always be remembered as Khan Noonien Singh from Star Trek. His performance in the TOS episode "Space Seed" was so memorable, the powers that be chose him to be the focus of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
I really wanted a clip of Khan quoting Milton from TOS to go along with the Melville from the movie, but no dice.
I’ll be watching this movie later tonight.
** We lost Majel Barrett Roddenberry a few weeks ago. I don’t know how we can have Star Trek without her. Hopefully J.J. Abrams got all he need for the new movie.
