@Tuftears Okay (tell me to shut up if you need); apparently Montalban's family was from CORdova, rather than the usual pronunciation corDOva, so people overheard him saying the name a lot. Apparently he sounded cool enough that the ad agency made up "Corinthian" as a description for the leather upholstery so they'd get to use him saying COR anything.
@Leucrotta Ahaha, well if it's his thing, it's his thing. 😹 I mean, Picard is supposed to be French and they got Sir Patrick Stewart to play him, and look how well that worked out.
@Leucrotta Ahahaha. ^.^
