Trivia:
An American-born actor reared in Ireland and England, McGoohan made a memorable impression on the American and English viewing audiences by playing essentially the same role in three different television series. He began his performing career as a teen-ager, eventually played Henry V for the Old Vic company in London, and made mostly unremarkable films in the '50s. His movies include the delightful Disney film The Three Lives of Thomasina (1964). Success came in 1961, when McGoohan played government agent John Drake in Danger Man, a role he continued on Secret Agent (1965-66). He created, produced and often wrote episodes of the nightmarish, surrealistic cult series The Prisoner (1968-69). This show featured a character assumed to be the same John Drake (although he was known as Number 6 and his real name was never mentioned), who had been kidnapped and taken to a strange community. McGoohan later starred in the TV series Rafferty (1977) and directed the film Catch My Soul (1974). He won an Emmy Award in 1975 for his guest appearance on Columbo with Peter Falk.

Trivia:
Originally aiming for a military career, London-born Patrick Cargill attended Sandhurst, then spent several years as an officer in the Indian Army. Upon his return to England, Cargill shifted his sights toward the stage, making his London theatrical debut in the 1953 revue High Spirits. In films from 1952, Cargill is most fondly remembered by 1960s moviegoers as the prickly Scotland Yard investigator in the Beatles' Help! (1965) and as the gentleman's gentleman with "consummation on the brain" in Chaplin's A Countess From Hong Kong (1967). He also helped launch the chucklesome Carry On film series by co-writing Ring for Catty, the novel upon which Carry On, Nurse (1958) was based. An inescapable presence on British television, Patrick Cargill co-produced the comedy series Ooh La La and starred in Father Dear Father (1968-1973, 1977) and The Many Wives of Patrick (1977-1978).

Trivia:
British stage actor Donald Sinden transferred his base of operations to the screen in 1948. He was best known in the 1950s for his characterization of Dr. Benskin in the popular Doctor in the House film series. He later starred in the TV series Two's Company (1974), Never the Twain (1981), and Playing Shakespeare (1988), and was heard as the voice of Doc in the 1995 animated feature Balto. Donald Sinden wrote his autobiography in 1982, titled A Touch of the Memoirs. He continued to work, both on the stage and on the screen, until his death in 2014, at age 90.

Trivia:
British supporting actor Richard Caldicot found success on stage, screen, radio, and television. He debuted in theater in a 1929 production of Journey's End, but he did not become a star until 1947, when he appeared in a stage production of Edward My Son. He made his film debut in The Million Dollar Pound Note (1954). Other film credits include A Question of Adultery (1958), The Court Martial of Major Keller (1961), and The Spy Who Came in From the Cold (1965). Caldicot's television resumé includes appearances on Oh, Brother, Fawlty Towers, and The Avengers.

Trivia:
British actor Brian Worth was a leading man of no particular distinction save for his affability. In films from the late '30s, Worth enjoyed major roles in The Lion Has Wings (1939), One Night With You (1948), and Hindle Wakes (1952). He worked well as an ensemble player in An Inspector Calls (1954), a semi-fantasy completely dominated by mysterious investigator Alistair Sim. Brian Worth also had a supporting part in Peeping Tom (1960), a grim but fascinating film about voyeurism that was so negatively received by the British press that it all but ruined the careers of everyone involved.
