2. That scene from Braveheart where he throws some smartass out of a window is priceless

Fine actor.

4. I remeber him mainly as Longshanks

I remember him mainly as Edward "Longshanks" I in Braveheart. Did an excellent job in that film too.

7. I love Patrick McGoohan but I'm surprised he lived this long.

Back in the seventies he use to come into my bar, in the daytime, drunk as a skunk. I'm sure his liver was already gone back then. I understand that he sobered up but surely the damage was done.

8. That is very sad.

"The Prisoner" is my all-time favorite TV show.
