      Not just Corinthian Leather, but FINE Corinthian Leather!

      Let's not forget his turn as a Japanese mobster in the first season of Hawaii 5-0!

      Geez, rough day for classic TV fans with news of Patrick MacGoohan's passing today as well!

              I did not know this...

              He was born and died as a Mexican citizen, at 88. A long life well lived, no doubt.

                Huh. I've been remembering it wrong all these years. I guess I'm not alone though.

                  It was good that he kept his accent for all the different roles he played. It would have been distracting if he didn't have an accent.

                    Especially when he played a Japanese character in Hawaii Five-O?

                            I enjoyed his work in Star Trek and Fantasy Island. Rest in Peace, great entertainer.
