Re: Patrick McGoohan
In the UK Patrick McGoohan was best known for his role in The Prisoner, a very surreal sci-fi show where he found himself trapped in a strange village and given a number instead of a name. Every time he tried to escape he was pursued by a giant white globe! It was real trippy sixties stuff!
There's a UK tribute to him with some memories from fans of the show at http://www.lastingtribute.co.uk/tribute/mcgoohan/2997081
