Patrick McGoohan is dead at age 80.
McGoohan co-created and starred in a revolutionary TV series in 1967 called The Prisoner - every episode of which is viewable online. The show, which was one of the best you're likely to ever see (in my opinion) started off odd, got progressively crazier, and culminated in a finale that was totally bizarre and somewhat subversive for network TV.
If interested, all the episodes are here.
