Ricardo is one of my favorite actors,but I did not like “Fantasy Island”.
I thought his performances in “Star Trek” the original series “Space Seed” episode and in the movie “Star Trek II:The Wrath of Khan” as Khan Noonien Singh were among his best. I think Rick Bayless would agree with his comments about Mexican food, also. Thank you for sharing this interview.
