Re: Patrick McGoohan

Never got the whole Patrick McGoohan thing. I think his voice puts me off. Ever hear the rumour that he started believing he actually was number 6 during filming of "The Prisoner"?

Re: Patrick McGoohan

He doesn't lift dead bodies, you never see his face directly, when he does it.

Re: Patrick McGoohan

I'm with Mark ... in fact, the more I watch Identity Crisis, the more the man himself becomes one, and the less forgivable episode inferences get ... like that Secret Agent X-9 silliness.

Had you ever paused to read that laughable ID card? I mean, that was boxtop kid stuff even 35 years ago, and even delivered by "Larry Tate" from Bewitched of all familiar people!

McGoohan performed well as Rumford, but that's likely because the actor had never worked around so many young men in any other project, not because the role inspired him. I'm just glad he did.

Re: Patrick McGoohan

ahhhhh....but you guys are missing the most important ingredient of the man................he is just so darn sexy!!!!!

Re: Re: Patrick McGoohan

Oh my goodness, Cass....Wait 'till you see him in "Ashes to Ashes" and then judge things.

Re: Patrick McGoohan

Re: Re: Patrick McGoohan

To quote Hayden Danzinger: "You're a broad minded woman."

Re: Patrick McGoohan

well..not to be a pain in the butt fred...but columbo was the one who actually said that to mrs. danziger.....

but my reply to that would be.....
"you're an acute observer, lieutenant"(fred)"
(as said by dr. mason in how to dial a murder..)

Re: Re: Patrick McGoohan

You have to love the way he says "Steinmetz!" when seeing the police sketch.

Re: Patrick McGoohan

I also find it amusing the way he rolls his "r"'s in "Identity Crisis"...as in "I had it rrrrremoved" and "Don't harrrrrass me."

Re: Patrick McGoohan
