Ricardo Montalban as Mr. Rourke in ‘Fantasy Island’
Ricardo Montalban looks calm and dapper as Mr. Rourke, his character from Fantasy Island. The popular show ran from 1978-84 on the ABC network. Per the show's premise, Mr. Rourke ran a mysterious luxury island where visitors could live out their fantasies in realistic detail -- often discovering in the process that they didn't want their fantasy after all, or learning some other meaningful life lesson. The dapper, calm Mr. Rourke was the constant, welcoming guests as an innkeeper while also rigging up their fantasies.
