Damn...it's a bad day for losing the iconic actors. I think my favorite part was when he guested on Hawaii 5-0. He was very believable as an evil mobster.

"Quien es mas macho?"Recently, there was a reckoning. It occurred on November 4, 2014 across the United States. Voters, recognizing the failures of the current leadership and fearing their unchecked abuses of power, elected another party as the new majority. This is a first step toward preventing more damage and undoing some of the damage already done. Hopefully, this is as much as will be required.Comment

WHAT!!!!!?
Good grief!!!
STII is my favourite of the movies (equal with part IV) mainly because of Ricardo's superbly contained performance.
The differences between Shatner and him are never more obvious during the part where Khan is telling Kirk that he is going to leave them the way they left him and his wife "...buried alive..."
Shatner raves and spouts pure ham but Montalabns's threat is all contained in his breathy whisper. Such class and a true gentleman.
We have lost so many genre Icons this week.
Rest in peace Ricardo Montalban.http://www.lddb.com/collection.php?a...er=dgtwoodward
