I suppose everyone has some passing regrets about things they could have done but it’s hard to imagine that McGoohan truly envied the fame/notoriety that playing Bond brought to Connery — he had a taste of it with Danger Man and the Prisoner and rejected it pretty decisively. I never actually looked at his bio, did he do a lot of stage work after “The Prisoner”? His film & TV appearances afterwards are sort of an odd mish-mash of things, they don’t seem particularly well chosen.
I always thought Connery was either smart or lucky in quitting Bond when he did, before it became impossible for him to be seen in any other role. Plus he played Bond in the right era, before the whole concept became an anachronism.
Actually, I’m not really sure what today’s topic is, so I’ve just been rambling on myself 😕
I know why fatguy hasn’t come back yet–no electricity. Ours just came back half an hour ago.
