Ricardo Montalban, TV's Mr. Roarke, Trek's Khan, Dead at 88 - E! Online

Ricardo Montalban, TV's Mr. Roarke, Trek's Khan, Dead at 88 - E! Online: "Ricardo Montalban, who presided over TV's original Fantasy Island as the all-knowing, white-suited Mr. Roarke, revealed an impressive chest while provoking Captain Kirk in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and seduced potential car buyers with 'Corinthean leather,' died today. He was 88."

It was sad to hear that he did today. We remembered him by watching our favorite role of his, Khan in Star Trek II.

The chest, the hair, the one glove, the obsession of beating Kirk made him a fun villain. As Khan he had an elegant stye though the obsession made him relatively easy to defeat, he was very impressive.

He left quite a legacy.
