I remember I was a kid, maybe 11 or 12, when “The Prisoner: was on as a summer replacement. It was so far ahead of it’s time that even today you can watch it and it doesn’t seem dated.

Patrick McGoohan. Yeah, way ahead of it’s time.
He was a Shakespearean actor as well as played Longshanks in Braveheart as well.
