Patrick McGoohan is a Free Man
Patrick McGoohan has died. He’s been in movies from Ice Station Zebra to Scanners to Braveheart. He turned down a crazy number of roles: The Saint, James Bond, Gandalf and Dumbledore. He directed and starred in some smart tv including Columbo. Most people will remember his dreamy auteur tv show, The Prisoner, a show Glenn Kenny calls in his obituary, “one of the most reliably mind-bending television series ever created.” Obituaries here and here.
