Khan Is Dead

    Just two little interesting facts about Khan Noonien Singh

    Montalbán enjoyed making the film, and counted the role as a career highlight. His major complaint was that he was never face-to-face with Shatner for a scene. "I had to do my lines with the script girl, who, as you might imagine, sounded nothing like Bill [Shatner]," he explained.

    During filming, Kelley noted that Chekov never met Khan in "Space Seed" (Koenig had not joined the cast), and thus Khan's recognizing Chekov on Ceti Alpha did not make sense. Star Trek books have tried to rationalize this discrepancy; in the film's novelization by Vonda N. McIntyre, Chekov is "an ensign assigned to the night watch" during "Space Seed" and met Khan in an off-screen scene.

    The actor who played Khan Noonien Singh in both the original series and the 2nd film, Ricardo Montalban, has passed away at 88

    Its interesting that Leonard Nimoy only agreed to play Spock in that film originally because his death was supposed to be irrevocable.

    KAAAAAAHHHHNNN!!!

    RIP Ricardo Montelban

    A brilliant and gifted actor.

    I also loved his character Vincent Ludwig from The Naked Gun (1988)

    Khan Noonien Singh - A brilliant performance.

    He has said probably some of the best lines in Star Trek.
