Ricardo Montalban, KAAAAAHN!, dies at 88.

Khan: Let them eat static.

Montalban as Kahn, in the 1967 Star Trek episode "Space Seed"


Montalban reprises his role as Khan in 1982's (the best of all of 'em) Star Trek Movie "The Wrath of Khan".

I was never a fan of 'Fantasy Island', that late '70's - early '80's TV show that brought Ricardo Montalban 'back to fame'. I do admit to enjoying Star Trek, up until the end of the original series actor's movie roles.

I'll remember Montalban primarily as Khan.
Khan: Captain, Captain, Captain... save your strength. These people have sworn to live and die at my command two hundred years before you were born. Do you mean he never told you the tale? To amuse your Captain, no? Never told you how the Enterprise picked up the Botany Bay, lost in space from the year 1996 with myself and the ship's company in cryogenic freeze?
Capt. Terrell: I never even met Admiral Kirk.
Khan: 'Admiral?' 'Admiral!' 'Admiral'... Never told you how 'Admiral' Kirk sent seventy of us into exile in this barren sandheap with only the contents of these cargo bays to sustain us?
Chekov: You lie! On Ceti Alpha Five there was life! A fair chance...
Khan: THIS IS CETI ALPHA FIVE!
RIP, gentleman.
