Wasn't THE PRISONER's Patrick McGoohan supposed to be in CAPTAIN SCARLET? Yes. McGoohan was to have voiced World President James Younger in the opening episode of the series. The idea was to have a guest star puppet every week, sculpted to look like its voice artist. However, McGoohan was unavailable when recording sessions began, and the concept was scrapped due to expense; Anderson regular Paul Maxwell took over the vocal duties after McGoohan had to cancel. The puppet of World President Younger, though, still bears more than a passing resemblence to McGoohan.
