Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
Sowards wrote the original screenplay, with substantial uncredited revisions by Meyer. The film made approximately ninety-seven million dollars worldwide on an eleven million dollar budget.
Actor: Ricardo Montalban
Ricardo Montalbán played Khan Noonien Singh twice, fifteen years apart, and the Wrath of Khan performance is the reason that film works: he never shares a frame with Shatner and the entire conflict is conducted by viewscreen.
He founded Nosotros, an organization advocating for better representation of Latino performers, at a point when the industry offered almost nothing but stereotypes.
Fantasy Island gave him a long television lead, and the Chrysler Cordoba advertisements made his voice a national joke he took in good humour. He worked in a wheelchair after spinal surgery.
