Born in Mexico on November 25, 1920 as Ricardo Gonzalo Pedro Montalban y Merino, Montalban's dark and mysterious looks won him a contract at MGM in the 1940s where he played a number of "Latin Lover" and ethnic roles. By 1947, he'd landed his first leading role opposite Cyd Charisse and Esther Williams in Fiesta. He worked in many films in the '50s and early '60s, eventually becoming quite active in TV, making appearances in everything from Ben Casey to The Man From U.N.C.L.E.. He began his work on Fantasy Island in 1977 and played the part through 1984, working overtime in 1982 for his part in The Wrath of Khan. Most recently, he portrayed the grandfather in Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams and Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, and appeared in the Disney Channel series Kim Possible. [Let's not forget his role as Vincent Ludwig in the first Naked Gun movie. Classic! - Zach]

Montalban was preceded in death by his wife of 63 years, Georgiana Young, and he will be missed. Go out today and huff the interior of a Chrysler or yell out a good long "Khaaaaaaaaaan!" in memoriam. I know I will.
