Welcome to Heaven! Where all your fantasies come true!

Ricardo Montalban passed away yesterday at 88 apparently from natural causes. Nice ripe old age, too, not like most of the deaths from 2008.

Man fuck 2008.

EDIT: For those of you who don't know who this guy is, he's one of the more prominent latino actors in America, beginning his career amidst the 40s where stereotypes and prejudice were all too commonly leveled against anyone who wasn't white.

Jesus, for a moment, my heart sank because I thought you'd meant MICKEY ROURKE. lol

I've never seen Fantasy Island. The old one, anyway. The only one I'm familiar with is the one with Malcolm McDowell as Rourke.

Same here.

But ONLY because I already knew about Richardo Montalban and this would have been more bad news by now.

I'd certainly mourne Keanu Reaves, if it wasn't for him i'd never have enjoyed Knox The Matrix.

A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.

i dont know if this is a joke but if it's not you are pretty warped.

Sad to see this guy go, though I've never watched Star Trek, and Fantasy Island is almost too far gone for tvland.

A mexican actor in california in the 1940s who was taken seriously as an actor in a time when anyone who wasn't white was used as an extra, stereotype, or inept side-kick designed to make the hero look smart.

Jesus Christ, are you people really this bad? Like Niitaka almost started a flame war by bring up Patrick McGoohan but both actor's pretty much had the same importance in their respective countries. Both of them refused to be cast as dumbasses and demanded respect from an audience that didn't give two shits because OMG MEXICAN IN MY WHITE HOLLYWOOD!

The dude even broke his back while filming a movie in the 50s and LIVED WITH THE PAIN for 40 years before getting surgery (which confined him to a fucking wheel chair) while still starring in more movies and tv shows than most healthy actors.
