Sorry to hear about the deaths today of two actors who turned in lots of wonderful work in their careers: Patrick McGoohan, 80, and Ricardo Montalban, 88.
McGoohan was already famous as the star of Secret Agent Man, but achieved cult status when he took the same character (without actually saying so) and moving him over into the surreal TV series, The Prisoner. One of my all-time favorite shows.
Montalban was the classic gentleman and someone who seemed to be having a great time with every part he tackled. He's best known for his long run as the mysterious host on TV's Fantasy Island, but I'll always remember him as Star Trek's greatest villain, Khan, who dueled with Capt. Kirk in the second Star Trek film (which was also the best of that series).
Both fine actors who will be missed.

I'll take "The Voyage Home" over "The Wrath of Khan."
And I'm waiting to see what the new movie this summer is like. From what little I've seen from trailers, it could be good.
Anon, "The Voyage Home" (Star Trek IV for you non-fans out there) is a very close second in my book. And I'm hoping for the best from this summer's movie, too.
