Just read the news. So, so terrible. Havn't got round to watching his Planet of the Apes film, but i loved him in The Naked Gun, and although not the best films, he was a joy to see in Spy Kids too.

He was also funny in the first Naked Gun movie.

It really is sad to think how many people who have something to do with Star Trek have died over the past 10 years or so.

Me, I'll always associate him with my two favorite Planet Of The Apes movies and my second favorite Star Trek movie. Oh, and fine Corrinthian leather!

Ricardo Montalban, who gained fame portraying Mr. Roarke on the television series "Fantasy Island," has died at the age of 88.

The Mexican-born actor died at his home in Los Angeles, the Associated Press quotes L.A. City Council President Eric Garcetti as saying. Montalban lived in Garcetti's district in L.A.

Montalban had been a star in Mexican movies when MGM brought him to Hollywood in 1946. He was cast in the leading role opposite Esther Williams in 'Fiesta,' and also starred with the actress in 'On an Island with You' and 'Neptune's Daughter.'

Beginning in 1978, Montalban played the faintly mysterious, white-suited Mr. Roarke, who presided over an island resort where visitors were able to fulfill their lifelong dreams. "Fantasy Island" received high ratings for most of its six-year run on ABC and still appears in reruns.
