LOS ANGELES – A Los Angeles city councilman says Ricardo Montalban has died. He was 88. The Mexican-born actor, who became a star in splashy MGM musicals and later the wish-fulfilling Mr. Roarke in TV's "Fantasy Island," died at his home in Los Angeles, City Council President Eric Garcetti said Wednesday.

Montalban lived in Garcetti's district in Los Angeles.

I blame Nordberg. He is able to kill, even from jail...

That thing atop his head died years ago.

That sucks, I always liked that guy. Surprised they didn't mention Battle For The Planet of the Apes or Escape From The Planet of the Apes. Or the fact that he appeared as Khan in the Star Trek series as well.

I tried to find his Grillerie (the pre-cursor to the Foreman Grill) infomercial on You Tube. That was magnificent.
