Always liked his characterization of the quintessential (old school) Brit.
He was a bit of a squish but seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

I always wondered what if he was cast as the first James Bond. Too much class probably for the role.

The Avengers was a great show. Glad to see he was able to live to a ripe old age.
To: skeeter
Always liked him on screen as well. I don’t hold the New Avengers against him either.
RIP Pat.

Avengers was good campy fun. Better than the 95% of what is running today.

The best TV show ever made.
To: Olog-hai
Just read that he served in the Royal Navy during World War II.
I also remember him playing the captain of a cruise ship in an episode of Columbo.
Rest in peace, Mr. Macnee.

"...mostly to lust after Mrs. Peel. Yes. As a 13 yr old, she always gave me that sexy 'older woman' appeal. Always wondered if Mr. Steed and Mrs Peel had a 'thing' going on tho.
