Patrick McGoohan

I caught that on the news about Patrick McGoohan and I also saw that Ricardo Montalban past away today. How sad.

I was just looking at the article before I saw your discussion! He was such a talented, handsome man. He could be the consummate villain or a tragic hero. The world has lost a great, great actor. I loved The Prisoner.

Man, this is a real bummer. He's one of my all-time favorite actors. If you've never seen PMcG in The Prisoner, I highly recommend youdo. It's my favorite TV show period. And Danger Man is one of the earliest and best spy shows ever produced. Particularly the half hour ones. BTW, there were actually 86 Danger Man episodes. 39 of the half hour ones and 47 of the hour long ones Pat also played the title character in Dr. Syn alias The Scarecrow (Scarecrow of Romney Marsh) which you may have seen on the Wonderful World of Disney way back in the day. That laugh scared the crap out of me as a kid. Patrick had a real career comeback back in the mid-late 90's with The Phantom, Braveheart, and A Time To Kill, all excellent films. There's alot of old movies that people have forgotten about that Patrick was in that are quite good. McGoohan was excellent in ALL of them! A real pro, a nice man, and a real loss to the world of cinema and TV. Rest In Peace Patrick.

I am really about to show my age here, and will probably be branded as a "youngin" for the rest of my days here at MyLot lol. The only thing you mentioned that I would be familiar enough to know guest stars in is The Simpsons. Who did he play on that show? Hopefully I watched that episode so I will remember. I know I could just go to http://www.imdb.com to find out, but in the interest of furthering the conversation, I wanted to ask you first.

My sympathies to his family too...at least he left a mark in our hearts....so he won't be forgotten. I see Ricardo Montalbon also passed today...another one we will always remember!
