R.I.P. Patrick McNee

[0neiros]

93 YO. The Original Avenger - John Steed, And BSGTOS - Count Iblis, a few appearances of shows like Columbo among other fine roles. He could play a thoroughly Likable good guy, or a slimy, Nasty Villain, either way, he had that air of "Class" about him. Thank you for the memories Sir.

I Wish the Avengers Movie done in the 90s hadn't been such a POS.

Bummer.....used to love watching The Avangers late at night when I was kid.

 

[Murdoch]

Sad...GM

 

[Riceball]

Funny, I thought he died years ago for some reason.

 

[Darth Lars]

The real first Avenger ...

I think the first movie I must have seen him in was the Bond movie A View to a Kill.

 

[Michael Bergeron]

Oh man. This is sad.

Long life well lived. RIP.

Patrick Macnee not McNee.

And not just Count Iblis - he was the narrator in the opening credits:

 

[Kylash]

Yeah I remembered him from Battlestar the most.

 

[Probe Droid]

Always enjoyed his work, but 93 is a very long life. Wasn't Lee 93 as well when he passed last week?

Adios, Patrick.

RIP Patrick Macnee. I grew up watching him, the Avengers, Battlestar Galactica (The Imperious Leader, narrator, AND Count Iblis)...too bad, the world has been losing so many great actors lately.

R.I.P. Steed.
Always loved The Avengers. I used to watch it after school in the 80's.
Sad news.

 

[Apollo]

Man, was just watching The Howling again for the millionth time.

He was one of a kind and created an Iconic role as John Steed

 

[Betamin]

I remember watching him in "The New Avengers" as a kid. Good show. RIP, Mr. Macnee.

 

[MAKE BELIEVE]

Damn! Day in day out we loose someone connected to the movie industry
Rest In Peace

Just finished re-watching the Battlestars with my son. Sad to lose him, but 93 is a good long life.
