R.I.P Ricardo Montalban


From SFScope I see that Ricardo Montalban has died. This is a hard day for me. First I hear about Patrick McGoohan, and now this. So sad. I love him best for his portayal of Khan Noonien Singh in the Star Trek (TOS) episode Space Seed and again in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. SciFiWire has some interesting trivia about Khan.
