The Sci-Fi Genre Loses Two Stars

Published by igpnicki under News Edit This

In the last two days, the genre has lost two iconic actors. On Tuesday January 13, The Prisoner actor Patrick McGoohan passed away at the age of 80, after battling a short illness. The actor is of course most well known in the sci-fi world in the role of Number Six in the mind-bendy series, The Prisoner. On Wednesday January 14 actor Ricardo Montalban also passed away, aged 88. The actor is most recognizable in the role of Khan in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and in television’s Fantasy Island. Both of these actors will be greatly missed.
