KHAAAAAAAAN!!!!! RIP


First Patrick McGoohan, and now this. same day. Dammit that sucks.

Those of you who know me well know how much STAR TREK means to me. So when anyone related to such passes, it effects me. but every now and then some BIG name Trek related actor leaves this world behind. And that day is today.

Ricardo did an OUTSTANDING job as Khan, the best villian in all of STAR TREK lore. Now and forever. He stood out in the series episode, and of course, the best of the Trek movies: WRATH OF KHAN. He was captain ahab, obsessive and deadly all at once. Scenery chewing over Shatner? Oh yeah!

Not to mention Naked Gun, Fantasy Island... sooooo much more.

He will be missed. And for the record, that was not a fake chest on old Khan. That was pure Montalban!
