Yes! Sean Connery, William Hartnell, Sid James, David McCallum, Alfie Bass, George Murcell and Peggy Cummins were also in Hell Drivers. There are a couple of clips on youtube, where he does nasty things to Stanley Baker.

Such a terrific actor... I awaited each episode of the series "Secret Agent" & "Prisoner" with timely anticipation. He was quite good in both and the work he did in "Braveheart" made you want to hate him. His kind of acting transcends the media presenting it (i.e. TV, theatre, movie screen). He is but another acting icon that we have lost in recent years and will be greatly missed.

I am not a number I'm a free man. As the prisoner said.
He was actually offered for the part of James Bond. But he turned it down for personal reasons. He didn't like the idea of playing a serial womaniser.
Where ever you are Patrick. You'll always be remembered.

A very fine and under rated actor. I was always impressed by the way he used his voice particularly when his character was angry. The Prisoner is AMAZING and one of the best tv programs ever!
The Hell Drivers is an entertaining movie and worth seeking out just to see that memorable cast.

2- you're waiting for someone, Mr Tuxedo ? Or expecting someone ?
6- Mr Peter Pan.
2- So it seems.
6- With his shadow...
2- You're beeing hostile again. What were you looking at ?
6- A light.
2- A star.
6- A boat.
2- An insect.
6- A plane.
2- A flying fish.
6- Somebody who belongs to my world.
2- This is your world. I am your world. If you insist on, living a dream, you may be taken for mad.
6- I like my dream.
2- Then you are mad.

I loved Patrick Mcgoohan in The Prisoner. I don't think any other actor could have made that show as great as he did. I also liked him in films like Scanners, Braveheart and others.
