Funny thing is, he's one actor whose name I could never remember.

I'd read it in the papers earlier today, but until Fantasy Island was mentioned in this thread, it didn't click.

I heard it on the news this evening, and by the end of the news, I still couldn't remember his name.

Weird. Right up with the actor who played "Charlie" as John Nettles' father in law in Bergerac. I even saw him in real life on the tube, but for the life of me could never remember his name either.

The Plane The Plane:(

Actor Ricardo Montalban, who starred in the popular US TV show Fantasy Island in the 1970s-80s, has died aged 88, a Los Angeles city official says.

The Mexican-born actor died at his home, the official said.

Fantasy Island ran for six years and centred on a magical island where guests could live out their dreams.

Montalban - who had a long career in entertainment - was also well-known for playing the villain in Star Trek, both on television and in a feature film.

Montalban's death was announced by Eric Garcetti, who represents the LA district where the actor lived.

David Brokaw, the actor's friend, described him as a "very courtly, modest, dignified individual," the Associated Press news agency reports.

Montalban had been a film star in Mexico before moving to Hollywood in 1946
