I joined this page solely to reply to TrentnQuarantino's ill informed comment. Firstly, Patrick McGoohan was Irish (born in America to Irish parents), not Scottish. I could leave it there, as this says enough about TrentnQuarantino's knowledge on the subject and their indifference towards research. TrentnQuarantino didn't have to 'wonder what his life was like'. There's a thing called the Internet, and TrentnQuarantino could have learned that Patrick Mcgoohan was not only not Scottish, he wasn't 'mouthy' either. Perhaps 'mouthy' to an underachieving keyboard warrior, but driven and committed in order to provide for his family in a high pressured and competitive environment which TrentnQuarantino could never begin to comprehend.
Mr McGoohan had an expansive and highly regarded stage career, before becoming a renowned (and wealthy) writer, Producer, Director as well as an intensely charismatic film and television actor. I'm Welsh, a fanatically patriotic nation, but I believe that Patrick McGoohan was a more accomished and better actor than our own Richard Burton (you've heard of him TrentnQuarantino, haven't you?). His moral standards made him turn down the role of James Bond, and gave Sean Connery (look him up) a career. TrentnQuarantino, do the work and learn the facts before voicing your opinions. They say that ignorance is bliss: TrentnQuarantino must be very happy.
