Birthday greetings
To
Earl Cameron
May the sun shine on
you
Today and everyday
At 99 years of age today, Earl is probably the
oldest living actor to have appeared in ‘the Prisoner. In the main it’s Peter
Swanwick who plays role of the day-time supervisor, with occasional other
actors drafted in from time to time to play various supervisors at both day and
night time. Such is the case with Earl as the Supervisor-Number 106, who in his
two appearances in ‘The Schizoid Man’ is both the day-time and night-time supervisor.
In both 1992 and1997 Earl Cameron was
amongst the special guests attending both the 25th and 30th
anniversary events of ‘the Prisoner’ in London. In an interview Earl had this to say
about ‘the Prisoner,’ “Well I think I only had about two or three days with
this part at the studio. Apart from Patrick McGoohan I remember little. You go
to a studio and if you have a big part you meet everybody. I remember Anton
Rogers of course, I remember him very well.”
Here is a link to a ‘Historical Geographies’
a biography for Earl Cameron.
Happy birthday Earl
Be seeing you
