Goodbye, Armando. Truly sad.

[Mikey]

Wow !!!

He looked so frail these past few years i'm not surprised he passed away.

I'm glad he lived long enough to see himself finally become a Mego

[kryptosmaster]

OH MAN!
Gotta go sometime I guess.
Too bad.
I'll miss him.
Rich

Mr. Roarke, Khan, Armando, farewell, to all. RIP Ricardo. You will be missed. :sad:

[Earth 2 Chris]

Wow. He was always entertaining in everything he did. Brought class to every project, no matter how cheap or silly it may seem.

He left us with some good entertainment.

"Smiles everyone. Smiles!"

All the sofas in heaven are now made with rich, Corintian Leather..RIP

[Mikey]

I think for the last few years he was confined to a wheelchair.

[huedell]

There go the plane
RIP

[Hotfoot]

I still want that Cordoba with the Corinthian Leather. Hopefully he has a mint one to drive around Heaven in.

RIP and may all his Fantasies come true.

[mego73]

Some of his most recent work was in the Spy Kids movie series. Even though he was confined to a wheelchair, his regal authority was as bright as ever. RIP

[The Bat]

Bummer!:ugh_y: He will be missed! 88 is a pretty long life though.

[jaypiscopo]

class act
RIP

[Nostalgiabuff]

his wife passed away in '07, seems that couples married for a long time usually follow each other in death pretty quickly...of course they are both usually pretty old too. He was a charismatic man and will be missed.

[The Toyroom]

Nooooooooooooooo! RIP Khan Noonien Rourke

[kryptosmaster]

I still want that Cordoba with the Corinthian Leather. Hopefully he has a mint one to drive around Heaven in.

RIP and may all his Fantasies come true.

I had one. I loved that car. I had it for 10 years. Only sold it cuz I moved.
Someday I'll get another one.

R.I.P. Khan......did his plastic chest survive?

According to his son,that was his real chest. Still it's sad to hear about his passing

[JPkempo]

He was also the grand father in "spy kids"

[UnderdogDJLSW]

yes, definitely a class act. RIP

[D-McMEGO]

RIP Mr. Rourke !

[toys2cool]

Man that sucks,RIP Khan :embarassed:

[Hector]

Montalban's chest as Khan was real.

He's always been in fantastic shape...an athlete, a real man's man.

Here he is in his younger days, and tell me that's not an athlete's body (I mean come on...look at those pecs)...

"That is his real chest," the director said as he held court on the carpet outside the Paramount Theatre, emphatically assuring reporters that Ricardo Montalban's pectorals were no special effect. "That's the question I'm asked most frequently about 'Star Trek II.' It was his chest!"...Wrath of Khan director, Nicholas Meyer.

[BlackKnight]

WOW.... R.I.P. :please_y:

[spotter]

I met several Trek stars when I was working at QVC meeting him was the highlight and he was extremely gracious. He was my favorite Loved him in Battleground his death scene with Van williams was truly moving; Khan marked our favorite movie st2 ; and most of us dreamed of being on the Island.

He will be missed as will our Friend Number 6

All the sofas in heaven are now made with rich, Corintian Leather..RIP

LOL...that's so wrong I shouldn't be laughing but.....ah well. It could be true I suppose.

Dang...I always liked Mr. Montelbahn. Will definitely be missed. My prayers are with his surviving family members.

One last time....KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!

[TEXASFETT]

I love that dude growing up,and he'll be missed dearly!!!! He lived a very good life. RIP:smiley12:

[Vortigern99]

I knew that was his real chest! I get into more arguments about this. You can see the flesh heaving, the muscles rippling as he breathes; no muscle-suit has even been anywhere near as convincing.

Viva Khan/Mr. Roark/Armando!

[Meule]

Sad news, RIP Ricardo.

[fallensaviour]

RIP..He was an amazing actor to watch,one of my favs for sure.

[mitchedwards]

Heard the news this morning. RIP

[BendyZaius]

I was at a Trek convention a few years back where he was listed as a guest. I thought 'wow', I get to meet Kahn and add an Armando to my Ape autograph collection. Turns out he just did a pre-taped presentation that they played in the main hall and they sold some pre-signed photos, guess he just wasn't up to it even at that point.

[Goblin19]

He lived a long, successful life. He definitely had "it". He was loaded with charisma. He was still great in the Spy Kids movies and I must say, as a non Trek fan, brought out the best in Shatner.

[vintage spideyfan]

Oh, man. Missed this one. What a great career. Even did an episode of Family Guy!! Such charisma and what a voice. RIP.

[Vortigern99]

I seem to remember he had a chronic leg injury that gave him excruciating pain every day of his life. This rather limited his acting roles and convention appearances. :-(

[mego73]

I knew that was his real chest! I get into more arguments about this. You can see the flesh heaving, the muscles rippling as he breathes; no muscle-suit has even been anywhere near as convincing.

Viva Khan/Mr. Roark/Armando!

I know. If they tried to do a fake chest plate for him in all the scenes he was in, it would look like a fake chest plate.

[soldierape]

RIP Mr. Rourke, Khan, and Armando!....

Who can forget watching Fantasy Island right after LOVE BOAT?.....

"Smiles everyone! Smiles!"

Boss de plane,de plane..... Next stop the pearly gates! :yeah:
