Another great actor, Patrick McGoohan, died Tuesday in Los Angeles. A sad day. It would have been an honor to work with these men, but both had stopped doing film and television years ago.
Often cast as the villain, but sometimes as the hero, McGoohan was one of my personal favorites. He had an intensity and passion rarely matched. You could tell he just had a zest for life.
His work was prolific. Braveheart and Silver Streak come to mind. I love him in Secret Agent (Danger Man). Although there was a time when I was fascinated by The Prisoner, it is so surreal and confusing that it just wears me out. I have looked for his Columbo appearances on YouTube, but with little success.
