Richardo Montalban - 1920-2009<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Two in one day? Surprising. And sad.<\/p>\n

We’ve lost another screen legend today.<\/p>\n

“Kaaaaaaahhhhhhnnnnnnnnn!!!!”<\/em>: Kirk’s scream of rage at the death of his son, in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn<\/em>, was a pivotal moment in the franchise’s history. The object of his rage, Kahn, was portrayed with snarling malevolance by Richardo Montalban, the Mexican born actor with a list of TV and film credits as long as your arm.<\/p>\n

Montalban was most famous for his portrayal of Kahn in Star Trek<\/em>, and Mr Rourke (the “boss”, as Tattoo referred to him) in Fantasy Island<\/em>.\u00a0 He also appeared in a few Planet of The Apes<\/em> sequels, as well as in Robert Rodriguez’ Spy Kids 2 & 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Herve<\/p>\n

His TV credits reads like a list of the greatest TV shows of all time: Love Boat<\/em>, I Love lucy<\/em>, Star Trek<\/em>, Mission Impossible<\/em>, The Man From U.N.C.L.E<\/em>., Gunsmoke<\/em>, Wonder Woman<\/em>, Dynasty<\/em> & Murder, She Wrote<\/em>, to name a few of the programmes he made appearances in, either for a single episode or a couple.<\/p>\n

A recurring back injury in the 90’s (sustained in 1951) saw him reducing his workload to predominantly voice acting and wheelchair-bound roles (for example, his appearances in Spy Kids<\/em> were thus portrayed) and his work was indeed limited. His last role in a feature film was as a voice in The Ant Bully<\/em>, in 2006.<\/p>\n

Vale, Mr Montalban.<\/p>\n
