John Drake
John Drake was the debonair and duty-bound
secret agent played by
Patrick McGoohan in the
British television show Danger Man (
1960-
1966). Unlike
James Bond, he never carried a gun, rarely used far-fetched gadgets, and never got the girl.
McGoohan's fans think that the character of Number 6 in The Prisoner, the show that followed Danger Man, was meant to be Drake, but McGoohan denies this.
