I enjoyed a lot of his work. |

Since I was raised on Army bases, being confined to one little town seemed normal to me.
Number 6, you really must not alter your button. |

More recently he was the Pustulent,leperous King of Scotland in Braveheart.
As an actor Patrick McGoohan could really do no wrong, IMO. |

KHAAAAAANNNN! Slipkid,
Has it ever been definitively established whether John Drake and Number 6 were the same person? It's been debated for 40 years, but McGoohan always denied it, of course...
And what's the buzz on the remake?

The "Drake is #6" was never offical series cannon, it sure makes sense. |
