Colin Gordon as Number Two in The Prisoner

Colin Gordon (April 27, 1911 – October 4, 1972) was a British actor born in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). He appeared in such films as The Pink Panther and Casino Royale although he is probably best known for his portrayal of Number Two in the cult classic series The Prisoner. Along with Leo McKern, he was one of only two actors to play Number Two more than once. He first played the character in "A. B. and C." and later reprised his role in "The General".

Gordon also played the host and occasional narrator of the 1969 London Weekend Television series Complete and Utter History of Britain, which arose from a pre-Monty Python collaboration between Michael Palin and Terry Jones.
