Ricardo Montalban, one of my favorite villians from "Star Trek", passed away on Thursday. I know most people probably think "Fantasy Island" when they hear his name, but to me he was always 'Khan'. What a voice he had, so smooth and debonair.
I wish him well on his final jouirney.

He stole that movie -- and Khan still ranks as my favorite villain of all time. But even in lesser roles like "Fantasy Island," Ricardo Montalban always had class. He elevated the material.

And I always admired him for not anglicizing his name, as was so commonly done back in the day. He was who he was, by golly!
