Director, Actor Born: March 19, 1928 in New York City, NY Death: January 13, 2009 Biography:An American-born actor reared in Ireland and England, McGoohan made a memorable impression on the American and English viewing audiences by playing essentially the same role in three different television series. He began his performing career as a teen-ager, eventually played Henry V for the Old Vic company in London, and made mostly unremarkable films in the '50s. His movies include the delightful Disney film "The Three Lives of Thomasina" (1964). Success came in 1961, when McGoohan played government agent John Drake in "Danger Man", a role he continued on "Secret Agent" (1965-66). He created, produced and often wrote episodes of the nightmarish, surrealistic cult series "The Prisoner" (1968-69). This show featured a character assumed to be the same John Drake (although he was known as Number 6 and his real name was never mentioned), who had been kidnapped and taken to a strange community.
