Patrick McGoohan, the man who embodied hope over despair in the coolest way imaginable in the 1960s cult TV classic The Prisoner, has died--he was 80 years old.

Ricardo Montalban, the Mexican-born actor who became a star in splashy MGM musicals and later as the wish-fulfilling Mr. Roarke in TV's "Fantasy Island," died Wednesday morning at his home, a city councilman said. He was 88.

A sad day!

Both were wonderful Columbo adversaries as well, especially McGoohan. They will be missed.

I am a Columbo nut.

Sad news indeed. At 88 Montalban had a decent run, IMO.

Now everytime kirk goes "khannnnnnnn!" in the movie in will think of him.

Who did you used to think of when he said that?
