When I was much, much younger…

I envisioned the archetypal "Englishman" through actors

Leo McKern

Ian Richardson

and (of all people)

John Hillerman

None of whom, it turns out, were even English. 😳

Yes,Leo McKern was an Australian,as I guess you know - I used to enjoy watching "Rumpole of the Bailey"back in its day.

@craig7 Lol, yep. I love him as Rumpole (and could never imagine anyone else in the role) but I first remember seeing him as Number Two in The Prisoner.

@bijouxbroussard
“Where am l?”
“In the Village”
“What do you want?”
“Information”
“Who are you?”
“Number Two”
“Who is Number One?!”
“You are….Number Six”

The answer was there all along!

@Vetrov I used to watch this. The beginning shows what happened to set up the series that follows. 👍🏻
