here's the article :(
Wow, seems like we're losing more of our good friends.
To paraphrase Jochaim: "Yours was the superior acting talent"
From good guys to bad, Mr. Montablan was a great character actor whos work spans both the decades and genres. A friend of mine actually only knows him from the "Spy Kids" movies! I don't know which role I'll remember him best for: Khan Noonien Singh or Mr. Roarke. Both were such interesting performances it's really hard to choose.
Btw., I just read on IMBD where he had agreed to play Khan in ST2:WoK for only $100,000 because he loved the role! (alot of other little things on there too, take a look, if you would like to) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001544/
Mark of a thespian.
Also, misspelled.Quote:
Kahn Is Dead.
Let's all honor the man by swearing to always spell "KHAN" right, under pain of Ceti Eel torture.
He will be missed.
According to IMdB, in 1993 he had a lengthy surgical operation on his spine to repair an old injury he received while filming Across the Wide Missouri in 1951. He was in constant pain for the rest of his life, and confined to a wheelchair as a paraplegic.
Some memorial moments.
