But seriously, I do find Mcgoohan attractive in his own way, and I feel that turning down Bond and so forth has actually stopped him from being the A-lister he deserved to be.
In Hollywood he was underrated, don't you agree. I feel that Connery and Moore owe a lot to him.

I saw 'Ashes to Ashes' the other day, and the love interest of P McGoohan looked a lot like Pete Burns. Don't you all agree with me???

It is one of those Columbos, Moor Larkin. I am trying to get hold of Rafferty. P McGoohan looked so handsome in it, but I did hear there was an awful scene where he hit a woman.
That is terrible.

They used to compare Patrick Mcggohan to Heston in the early days, in your dreams McGoohan. Heston is a King of the actors and never used the 'n' word in his films or was discourtous to the female actors eithers.
Now Chuck Heston is what I call the handsome one.

I suppose you're wondering what you're doing here?

I don't think there is any evidence that The Prisioner "ruined his career". It seems that PM has made his own idiosynchratic choices throughout his career and, more likely, has sporadically turned up in major supporting roles in the odd Hollywood movie over the past 20 years in order to pay the rent. According to the IMDB he turned down James Bond, Gandalf and Dumbeldore - this hardly suggests a man whose career has been "ruined". He's probably be offered a lot of other stuff to that he's turned down - possibly to spend more time with his family.

He just seemed to do what he pleased and I'm sure he could have done a lot more if he had wanted - I seem to remember he was quite active in the late 1970's/early 1980's with stuff such as Escape From Alcatraz, Scanners and Kings and Desperate Men (the film involving Mdm Treadeau). Didn't he also appear in Silver Streak? And he did a brief US TV series in the late 1970's. And he was in Braveheart.
