McGoohan rang my chimes a bit more than Montalban...but both will be missed.

Mr. Goohan came to the US in the series "Secret Agent", this also lanched the career of Johnny Rivers who sang the title song.  In England where the show was made it was called "Danger Man", the videos are available.  Mr. Goohan went on to create and star in one of for it's time a TV series that was both bizzar and enjoyable, "The Prisoner"  this also was one of the first mini-series, 16 shows.   Mr. McGoohan last appearance was as King Edward 1 (Longshanks) in Mel Gibson "Braveheart".
 
Both Men will be saddly missed.

And recently, he was the grandfather of the "Spy Kids" in those films. I believe he was also doing voice work for the "Kim Possible" cartoon series for Disney? He kept working almost right up until the end. Good for him! (Nothing worse than being laid up, and left with nothing but looking back on your career memories...)

Mr. McGoohan was also know for working for Disney. He played Dr. Syn, Alias the Scarecrow for several episodes of the "Disneyland" series. (Which are apparently being remade by the same team that was responsible for the "Pirates" films) Genre fans will also remember him as the scientist who accidentally created "The Scanners" in the David Cronenberg film of the same name. Apparently, he too was very active until almost right up until the end.

(Man, I hope I'm as lucky as these two guys!)

When was this?

Can you expound upon his appearance in more detail?

Thanks...
