Patrick McGoohan, March 19, 1928 – January 13, 2009.
One of my all time heroes. A fine actor, he produced, wrote directed without looking like an idiot. I shouldn’t think many men had a better sense of style, ever. More than anything, he was not a number he was a free man.
He was also one of my favourite people - charm, charisma, style, humour, integrity, the very essence of true ‘manliness’. I still occasionally watch him in awe via my Dangerman and Prisoner box sets - way better than Bond too..
A thoroughly sterling, inspirational chap he indeed was.
He turned down the roles of The Saint and James Bond! Style!
