May he rest in peace surrounded by fine Corinthian leather.

Thanks Ricardo for lending your charm to the “Fantasy” that got broadcast into our homes for so many years.

And if I am the first to say so.....

He was the best part about Start Trek Wrath of Khan. He’ll be missed. A well deserved rest in piece in rich Corinthian leather for him.

So sad. I always liked him because he ‘took the piss’ out of himself for being handsome.
