Patrick McGoohan, TV's 'Secret Agent' and 'Prisoner,' dies CBS Patrick McGoohan in "Danger Man" on CBS in 1961. The British actor, 80, often played villains on TV and in movies. But he gained his greatest fame as the TV spy John Drake. He also won two Emmys for 'Columbo.'

More HERE. NPR did a nice piece including fading out with the song. (I had to use it for the thread title!)

He was one of my VERY favourite actors, for both shows and his other roles. Thanks, Mr. McGoohan and RIP.

To any mods who might be thinking of combining threads:

What I posted to the other thread:

I started the obscure titled other thread and I could combine them, but I think I will leave them separate. While it is musical, sort of, I did move it below the line. I didn't realise it would be American-centric, but that is one reason I am going to leave it, as is. Secret Agent was the American version of Danger Man. Spaw put in a great bunch of info in the other thread about all of McGoohan's accomplishments. Well worth the read and, sorry, but the title was too good not to use!:-)

With all due respect for a fine gentleman,

Thanks!
