The character played by Ricardo Montalban in a 1960s “Star Trek” episode, and then in a movie, “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.”

You got me. I should have searched on the name and not just scanned the entire cast of "Battleground."

As I recall the studio was reluctant to make the movie in 1949, figuring the public was about warred out. It succeeded at the box office nonetheless. It had an air of being made by men who had personal knowledge of service in the war. Little things like the truckload of paratroopers saying with sarcastic relish "you found a hooome in the army".

That’s what I get for posting on my iPhone from my niece’s High School basketball game. Lousy connection and I could not remember how to spell “Montalban”...

BTW, he was a conservative too...
