Ricardo Montalban, who spent his cinematic career trying to destroy the world, has died at the age of 88. As Armando, he sheltered Caesar, the ape who led the revolution in Conquest for the Planet of the Apes that would lead to the overthrowing of man by apes who would finally do it, finally blow it all up, damn them all to hell. As Khan Noonien Singh in Space Seed and Star Trek II: The One that Didn’t Suck, he tried to kill James T. Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise who would go on to save the planet by stealing a whale in Star Trek IV: Revenge of the Obelisk. And as the evil Abner Smith, he tried to kill Cathy Lee Crosby's blonde Wonder Woman in an elf costume. He also served as concierge for the world’s creepiest island – sorry Lost fans – lisping midgets always trump polar bears. Montalban’s career arc took him from Latin lover to knowing self-parody, extolling the soft, Corinthian leather of the Chrysler Cordoba, playing the King in Cannonball Run II, and getting trumped by Frank Drebin as the evil tycoon Vincent Ludwig in Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! He was called on to play a range of ethnicities with skin darker than coral, including a Kabuki actor in Sayonara and Chief Satangki in the miniseries How the West Was Won, for which he won an Emmy. More recently, he played Grandpa in the Spy Kids movies, Señor Senior Sr on Kim Possible, and the voice of McStroke, a genetically engineered cow on Family Guy.
