Born in New York, McGoohan was only a few months old when his immigrant parents returned to Ireland with him. When he was eight, the family moved again, this time to Sheffield.

He left school with full intentions of fulfilling his mother's ambition for him to become a priest.

But in 1948, during a temporary stint working as a stage manager at the Sheffield Repertory, McGoohan realised he was destined to tread the boards.

I loved Him

He was an ideal to play James Bond had Roger Moore not taken the role. He also played the devilish King of England in Mel Gibson's BRAVE HEART and played a memoreable role in an Episode of Colombo too.

What do the Paris Hilton Generation understand to appreciate these cult series as we were so lucky to do at their age.

God Bless the Prisoner
