  • Trivia
    Served as a stunt double for Patrick McGoohan on his various series -- "Danger Man," "Secret Agent" and "The Prisoner".
  • Quotes
    [on Patrick McGoohan] Patrick is just about the closest to being a stunt man that any actor that I know, apart from Burt Lancaster. Patrick was so good except he can't throw a left hand punch!
