93 was the title of one of The Village's inmates. The character was portrayed by actor John Whiteley in the episode "Arrival", of the 2009 television miniseries The Prisoner.
Background[]
After resigning from his job, Michael wakes in the desert, disoriented and unsure of where he is. At the sound of a gunshot and barking dogs, he goes to the aid of an old man who is running from armed pursuers. Michael carries the old man into a cave, where, with his dying breath, the old man asks Michael to hide his body and tell someone named 554 that he got away. After burying the body, Michael follows a light in the distance and arrives in a small town.
Behind the scenes[]
- John Whiteley trained at London’s Central School of Speech & Drama in the company of classmates such as Vanessa Redgrave and Judy Dench. His film credits include The Jackals and Cry the Beloved Country.[1]
- Producer Trevor Hopkins confirmed in an interview that he had invited Patrick McGoohan to play the role of 93, the Number Six-like old man encountered by Jim Caviezel's character early in the first episode. This is suggested by the jacket worn by the old man – the same style jacket as worn by number Six in the first series. McGoohan declined, but suggested he could play Number 2 instead.[2]
