"Cordoba. The car for the man who know who he is!"
Been a fan of sorts since the '50s. He was much better than some give him credit for.
Rich Corinthian leather will never be describe the same way again... :cry:

Funny....how famous that line from a commerical was. Oddly enhough that's a misquote as Montalbán actually says that "soft Corinthian leather" is an available upholstery option for the 1976 Chrysler Cordoba.
Even more odd is there is no such thing as Corinthian leather. Just a marketing term.
Farewell Ricardo. :cry:

Corinthian Leather = a product of the Corinth Leather Company, Corinth NY.
On a side note, Number Six also died. RIP Patrick McGoohan.

We have a generation of bad Montalbán impersonators to blame for it. ;)
Patrick McGoohan too! I wonder if the cause of death was being smothered by a giant floating bubble. :p

:D Coincidentally i just watched a movie with him in it. "Ice Station Zebra" where he also plays a spy.

He was considered for the role of James Bond for Dr. No in 1962. So close to the greatest spy character of all. :cool: He also played the English king Edward Longshanks in the movie Braveheart.
Always loved that scene where he throws his son's 'military advisor' out the window.

That is sad. I did like him in the Khan roll. It suited him. RIP

That was something of a comeback role for him iirc.

Close too? Drake could clear up in thirty minutes something that Bond would take hours to resolve, and he'd do it with less mess to clean up.:D

In many respects. The original episode featured him as Khan and what happened. True Trekkie fans noticed that when the Wrath of Khan came out on the big screen.
Of course! We are one big, happy fleet! Ah, Kirk, my old friend, do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? It is very cold in space!

Yes, an excellent sequel and a treat for the hardcore Trekkie fans. To bring that episode back with the same actor for Khan was a classic move.

About Patrick McGoohan
He also played the English king Edward Longshanks in the movie Braveheart., I thought that he look familiar, but couldn't say who he was!
And without prosthetic's...:lol:
Well, not counting those fake pectorals... :D

That's what I mean, it's his chest, no fake pectorals! The interview with both the actor and the director of the film, in the Director's Cut edition, they state this.

Yes he was an amazing actor.
I fear many of the old startrek actors are seen their times now. Shame to see them go. :nope:
I hope the new startrek movie makes a comeback. I'm not impressed with the way startreks is heading.
