Patrick McGoohan has passed away also, for anyone that that was a fan of "The Prisoner".

And in keeping with the spirit of this thread, Steve Jobs is taking a leave of absence from Apple, saying his health issues were more complex than he thought.

Before Mr. Roarke, there was Armando (here along with Roddy McDowell)

by **weatherman90** » Thu Jan 15, 2009 12:24 pm

I loved him in The Naked Gun. Now both Ricardo and Robert Goulet are gone, they both played villains in the series.

Surprisingly, it's not a prosthetic - he actually got that ripped for the movie. Trek trivia :wink:

Adios, Ricardo! And when you get to the great gig in the sky, don't be surprised if, upon entrance to the pearly gates, you hear a big booming voice yell "KKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!"

Ahem, I'm going to swallow my pride long enough to admit that I am old enough for the Chrysler Cordoba to have been my dream car in high school. I'm not quite sure when the last of those beauties rolled off the assembly line, but it was a tearfull day indeed. I remember twitching with anticipation waiting until I was old enough to get my driver's license so that maybe, just maybe, my mom would buy a used one for me -- with or without the "fine Corinthian leather". But alas, it was not to be.
