Ricardo Montalban's third best role?

[Orrex]

Well?

[lame54]

1. Fantasy Island 3?

[Dr. Strange]

2. If we're talking movies...

But if we're allowing commercials, then it'd have to be the Corinthian leather.

3. I like your choices.

11. Definitely the Cordoba ad...

following the diabolical insane dictator in "Space Seed" and the diabolical insane dictator with a chip on his shoulder, a blood vendetta and a death wish in "Wrath of Khan."

[Aristus]

4. The King of Siam in "The King And I" at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in 1974.

I got to meet him backstage after the show. My father had known his son in Vietnam and sent word backstage after the show to send his regards to Montalban's son.

Montalban invited us backstage to meet him. I was only five or six at the time, and had never heard the word 'charisma'. But, boy, did he ever possess it! He had both an awe-inspiring, commanding presence, and also a gentle graciousness that was wonderful to behold. He was very sweet to us kids, and greeted my father warmly as if he were an old friend. I've never forgotten that, and when Montalban died, my family sent a card to his son, Mark, offering our condolences.

Ricardo Montalban was one of the good guys.

Border Indicent (check him out at 1:52)

10. All I know it wasn't the film I had to watch in high school.

I can't even figure out what the title is after looking on imdb but we had to watch it for I think a history class and he played an Indian.

Have to admit, didn't pay attention as I was sitting next to my best friend and we whispered through it.

Didn't do that with all movies in high school, but I did with this one. She's still my best friend; I'll remind her of it the next time we talk--she'll get a kick out of it!

17. Was it "across the wide Missouri?"

My dad loved westerns. Blah.

[Ron Obvious]

14. No votes for playing a Japanese?

No votes for playing a Japanese gentleman in Hawaii 5-0?

Or was that somebody else?

[Orrex]

16. FWIW, my vote is for Señor Armando in Escape from the Planet of the Apes
