> Yes on the deliberate attempt, but I think the Montalban impression is something Hector uses occasionally and sparingly, for effect. I get a picture of the urbane, upper class Montalban of the 80s Chrysler commericals, caressing the r-r-rich Cor-r-rinthian leather of a convertible seat. That may be what Hector aspires to, but I don't think it's a characterization he can sustain. His default persona seems more like a weirdly inverted Cheech Marin than Ricardo Montalban.


Are you deliberately ignoring the book?
