Fantasy Island star Ricardo Montalban has died at the age of 88.
The Mexican actor passed away in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The cause of death is unknown.
Montalban is most famous for his role as Mr Roarke in the 1970s and 80s show, but he also made numerous other TV, movie and theatre roles throughout a long and successful career.
He appeared as villain Khan Noonien Singh in the first ever season of Star Trek, as well as the 1982 movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
He was awarded with an Emmy in 1978 for his role in How The West Was Won and was nominated for a Tony Award for his part in the musical, Jamaica.
Montalban's wife of 63 years, Georgiana died in 2007. The couple is survived by its four children.
Miss Letty did a spot as well on WA2K...
may he RIP
had i been he, i'd have wanted my skin to be tanned and installed into a chrysler cordoba
here's my big question:
Were those really his pecs in the Star Trek movie? He was so buff, I thought maybe he was wearing a body costume?
Yep. He made many a heart go pitter pat and he continued to do so long after he became a real senior citizen.
RIP Ricardo. You will surely still live on in your movies.
Stumble It!
