Patrick McGoohan: Dead

The Prisoner is a cool show, kind of surreal, but I preferred "Secret Agent Man". His show before The Prisoner. It was less tongue in cheek, and very good.

He was also one of my favorite Columbo killers. He was on that show three times, and each charatcer was totally different from the other, and he gave brilliant performances.
 
I was about 5 when The Prisoner ran on TV, and one of my earliest childhood memories is of Rover sucking people in, with their faces pushed against the membrane, trying to get out.
Gave me such nightmares!

Years later, in my twenties (around 1989), I was working in a store at the Westside Pavilion in West L.A., and Patrick McGoohan came in!
I told him about the impact Rover had on me as a child, and he shrugged and said, "Yeah, well, they're still out there!" before strolling off.
How cool is that!

Be seeing you, Number 6.
