Does anyone else miss Ricardo Montalban? No? Just me?
I’m hurt guys, I’m really hurt. Fantasy Island was awesome growing up, and sorry nerds, but “The Wrath of Khan” is still the best Star Trek movie. (Even if all the bad guys looked like extras from the movie “Fame”)
Great! Love that Ricardo.
I know. I miss that guy. He was one of those actors who the older he got, the more distinguished he got.
….well right up until “Spy Kids.” I’ll assume he did that to pay for a new yaught or something. Holy crap! What a turd. All the alcohol in the world wont scrub that movie from my brain.
He was a man who made his own destiny. This was a man comfortable in all realms he walked into, and made whatever role he was offered his own. As much as I do not like the idea of the movie ‘Spy Kids’ I will eventually watch its sequel just so I can see the man in action. He once remarked in life to a friend who was a director that he would have liked to have read ‘King Lear’, but felt that his spanish accent would not be fitting for the role and would not have dreamed of doing it then. I hope there is a heaven so I can ask the man to reconsider his view and take up the role under Shakespheare’s guidance. A fantastic leading man, the perfect villian. The world is a lesser place without this man.
Totally agree.
Suffice it to say Ricardo Montalban was a stud, and to tell you the truth I always thought his accent made him sound pretty badass.
Smiles everyone…..smiles! Used to love that show…many memories of Tattoo in his little suit, lol.
I used to watch it too, came on right after “The Love Boat”
Just stumbled on this comic today. Ricardo Montalban was one of the most able and professional actor during the last century. He was also a man of strong faith. There will only be one Ricardo Montalban and he is now performing in that big stage in the sky!
Welcome to the Zombie Nation. Glad to have you.
I grew up watching Ricardo Montalban, he is and always will be “The Man”
