I ask sincerely because I don't see the resemblance
Does this looks like Ricardo Montalban to you?
- Thread starter Shat Happens
- Start date
Actually, I think it does . . . .
Yes from me too.
IMHO, the visage seems more like an amalgamation of Ricardo Montalban with a 50-something Gary Human (but with a more pronounced jawline)? But Gary was only something like 8 at the time, but the portrait is a very good likeness...
Plus., in-universe, what @Shawnster said makes the most sense. Still like my answer, though... And now, in a complete moment of nonsurprise, he's a random Numan clip:
(Would have probably been fun as the Celestial Toymaker, too... but he's not into acting as far as I'm aware, and I digress within a digression...)

I do. I think its a faithful rendition and it was done in watercolor. That is some true artistic skill.I ask sincerely because I don't see the resemblance
She must really suck at her job and her hobby if she couldn't find this picture.
I mean . . . the painting is actually a decent representation of that pic. We're not talking Tom Brady's courtroom sketch here.
The similarities are more apparent in some photos than in others. I see the resemblance here:
I assumed the painting was a fresh, incomplete work-in-progress.
My first thoughts when I see the painting: I can't get past the sea of blood imagery she associated with Khan in her painting. He "approved" of the painting once he saw it; a dictator proud of his bloody past. Maybe?
VERY true. And not everyone is going to see the same thing, anyway. To me, the following looks more like Koenig than Shatner. So, I just have a little fun with it:
"Chekov....Pavel....rank....admiral!"
Savalas would have been awesome as Khan.
To Kirk, before the big fight in Engineering:
"Who has five times your strength, Baby?"

Che.....kirk?
Maybe? I like your subtext of Noonien Singh's past endeavors; the episode does know how to create depth in a villain in layers.
The painting captured his intensity…it is how he sees himself…glowering
ST II showed that in full.
Clint Walker looked nothing like JFK but it was the correct casting for PT-109 psychically speaking.
The mimes who played Moonwatcher and his tribe did better in less accurate svelte suits:

Though he sounded nothing at all like Archibald Leach, the voice of Jonathan Pryce was better perhaps to voice the inner man in “Becoming Cary Grant:”

The best art doesn’t imitate, it evokes

That painting is foreshortened by perspective. Might look even more like RM were we looking at it straight on.
Cliff Robertson. PT-109 was a film often shown in afternoon reruns and a favorite of mine as a kid.
