Images of him as No.6 will always take my breath away. RIP. What wonderful cinema and thought provoking drama Patrick McGoohan has given us. Images of him as No.6 will always take my breath away.

Ricardo I always had insane levels of respect for and always will because he pushed into hard Hollywood territory. Not exactly the most open town at times no matter how much George Clooney likes to think so. RIP gentlemen...

Thank you, McGoohan, for seeding subversion in my impressionable young mind. The allegory is eternal and lives on in us. Be Seeing You.

I always thought McGoohan should have been a "bigger" star in film than he was, he has a subtlety of expression that worked well for the camera, and he was great in the big shouty bits as well. As for Montalban, I just got finished reading a piece from Mark Evanier. This, I think, speaks of the man best: http://www.newsfromme.com/archives/2009_01_14.html#016521 It has been a trying time around my place because of this – for a time I was ranting at the heavens to just go ahead and ruin the whole of my bright and shiny new year and kill Harlan Ellison or Tom Waits – but so far it’s quieted down.

I had heard both of them died but I only knew who Ricardo Montalban is, since my favorite Star Trek movie ever is The Wrath of Khan. I have seen and enjoyed a couple of episodes of The Prisoner, though, so perhaps it's high time to get around to watching a few more. But we can be glad that they both led long lives and left wonderful things for posterity to enjoy!
