Ricardo Montalban, RIP

He had a couple of notable animation roles, as the villain Guitierrez in
"Freakazoid" and as Senor Senior, Sr. in "Kim Possible".

I know we must keep to topic, but there are better memorials for Sr.
Ricardo... :(
(And as far as last-Disney-role obits this week go, you'd think Patrick
McGoohan's ink-and-paint moment in "Treasure Planet" would've gotten
some on-topic tribute.)

Keep in mind people almost forgot Don Adams was Tennessee Tuxedo
and Inspector Gadget, Agent 86 being much more memorable, not to
mention live-action. People may remember Khan and Mr. Rourke better,
but his outstanding runs as Guitierrez and Senor Senior, Sr. show how
much he shined in almost any role he was given, not to mention making
the already very good Freakazoid and Kim Possible just that much
better.

Well, there was the Ricardo Montalban School of Acting in the
appropriate series of _SCTV_. And the Uplifting Teacher Movie Of The
Week. It's a true memorial to be parodied by people who are trying
to capture actual observations of the original.

It might have, but that would need someone to have a specific
memory of _Treasure Planet_.

And happened to turn on cable downloads the other night and watch Sr.
Ricardo as an Arab sheik being kissed by an orangutan in the last shot
of "Cannonball Run II", but again, there were better moments in his
career. -_-

I didn't even remember this. I had to go to Wikipedia to confirm this.
You have to admit that McGoohan's role was a small one. Billy Bones had a few
lines and then keels off, like he does in most "Treasure Island" versions.

It's hard to tell No.6's voice, until he gets on his Pirate tear ("Them
GEARRRRS and WHEELLLS..."), and an old-school Disney fan can hear the
Scarecrow right away. ^_^
