Just like it says... Seemed like a classy guy.

Mods, please spell his name Montalban. Thanks.

Patrick McGoohan, Ricardo...

PS. Not sure where this goes exactly. Probably off topic, but then it never shows up on the opening page for folks to see...

Rich Corinthian Leather.... (will be lost on most of the younger folk)

RIP, Ricardo.

Sigh, guess I no longer qualify as younger folk. I did so love that commercial... The kiddies will know him from spy kids...

doctorsteve · 01-14-2009, 08:56 PM

+1 He was always good in his roles and had a hella cool accent....R.I.P.

Marquoz · 01-14-2009, 09:12 PM

Wow, won't be the same watching Wrath of Khan later this year knowing this. Phenominal in that role! Made the movie twice as good as it should have been.

I think I'll fire up my "Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan" DVD in his honor tonight. Sad to know he's gone.

I only have it on VHS (signed by George Takei). I never got around to upgrading my Star Trek movies to DVD. Good thing, cause I will be upgrading them to BD!

red_5ive · 01-15-2009, 12:45 AM

Aww, sad news. He has such a distinct presence on screen. May he rest in peace.

He always seemed like a real decent guy. Sorry to hear this.

Wow, thanks! I haven't seen that commercial in thirty-some odd years, and I couldn't remember the name of the car. Corrrrrrrrdoba!

phlydude · 01-16-2009, 01:05 PM

That commercial came out in the year I was born ('75) but I still knew the phrase "rich corrinthian leather"

Amazaing that a car like that was built and sold in a post catalytic converter environment. That thing was HUGE and somehow still managed to meet air quality standards with a 318ci v-8 and you had the option of NOT having a catalytic converter. Half of the cars produced by Chrysler were Cordobas.

Here is a little recap on that car (one that Ricardo Mantalban helped sell so well)
