Another sad loss not only to us geeks but to the acting world. We've lost two legends today.

Truly a great actor and a gentleman.  Rest is peace, Ricardo.

It's kind of weird.  He was a great actor, but I never would have imagined that his passing would make me so sad.  I never met the man, but I almost feel like a good friend has passed away.   :-[

Two great actors who gave a lot to the the sci-fi/Fanasty and everything else community.  They will be missed but never forgotten.

I loved Ricardo Montalban. What a great actor.  :(
I just wrote to another podcast a couple of days ago to defend him, telling the hosts that his chest was real in Wrath Of Kahn.

Wow.  That really hurts to lose him. 

"I spit at thee"  @ Kirk. 

"Buried alive! Buried Alive" @ Kirk yet again.

And of course, "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN"

:(  Goodbye old friend.

I liked the mystery aspect of Ricardo.  He was so cool.  I used to stay up on Saturday nights and watch the Love Boat and Fantasy Island, and each week I hoped that he would have some cool part in the show. 

When he was cast as Kahn, it was brilliant.  He was an amazing actor and a man with style. 

I will miss him!
