"Patrick McGoohan, creator and star of cult 1960s programme The Prisoner, has died aged 80. The actor, known for the catchphrase &amp;quot;I am not a number, I am a free man!&amp;quot;, passed away in Los Angeles after a short illness. McGoohan, who was born in New York but brought up in England, became famous for his role in TV series Danger Man. He was considered for the part of James Bond in Dr. No before landing the lead in The Prisoner. After the show ended, McGoohan won two Emmy Awards playing different characters in detective drama Columbo. More recently, he portrayed King Edward Longshanks in Mel Gibson&amp;#039;s 1995 movie Braveheart. It was announced last year that The Prisoner is to be remade, with Passion Of The Christ actor Jim Caviezel playing McGoohan&amp;#039;s role. McGoohan leaves his wife of 57 years and three daughters.
