i recall that Charles Krauthammer had a thing for her. She was gorgeous — maybe still is. Was good on “Frasier”.

Virgina made the Movie Sideways that much more enjoyable to watch.

I recall seeing the movie, but don’t remember it well. About wine country or something, and two guys traveling?

He is a superb character actor: good as good guy, great as bad buy. The more I see of him, the more impressed I am.

He was Dum Dum Dugan of the Howling Commandos in Captain America, and the arch-villain Damien Darhk in Arrow.

I thought the same thing.

What few realize is that Patrick McGoohan turned his back on international fame and enormous wealth - twice.

Due to his enormous popularity as John Drake on Danger Man (Secret Agent Man), he was first offered the role of James Bond. He refused to portray a womanizer as the protagonist; being unselfish, he recommended a young actor named Sean Connery.

They offered it to him again, after Connery retired from the role. He again refused.

The Prisoner, prescient about multi-national globalism and government surveillance, was his brainchild, and historic television.

His was an electrifying presence on screen. See Ice Station Zebra (from Alistair MacLean), and Braveheart.

Orson Wells worked with him on stage before he entered television. Wells was in awe of both his presence and talent.

The most amazing thing is he got into acting somewhat haphazardly.

He could do any quasi-British accent, but was in fact born in America.

Obviously intended: bad guy.
