Sad news on the recent death of Patrick McGoohan, most famous for his role as the titular Prisoner in the 1960s series. That was a classic series IMO, and fascinating for both his writing for the series and his fascinating performance. Emotional. Thought-provoking. Occasionally clinically bizarre (case in point: The Girl Who was Death).
I also found his performances in Columbo truely enjoyable. The interplay between Peter Falk and McGoohan was always interesting to watch, and his directorial eye excellent. Also McGoohan made Falk, although an always reliable actor, raise his game.
