Jim Caviezel Takes Title Role in “The Prisoner”


Jim Caviezel, best known for playing Jesus in “Passion of the Christ,” has the title role in AMC’s remake of “The Prisoner.”

“The Prisoner” was a 1960s cult classic starring Patrick McGoohan as a spy who tries to quit. But he is kidnapped and taken to a mysterious island filled with former spies.  They are given everything they need except freedom.

Ian McKellen (Lord of the Rings, The Da Vinci Code) also has been signed on to co-star.

“The Prisoner” will be a six-part mini-series scheduled to debut in 2009.

Caviezel will play the title role of “Number Six,” a part that was originally made famous when played by Patrick McGoohan. McGoohan also served as the creator, producer, writer and director of the 1960’s series, which has become widely regarded as one of the most famous and intriguing cult TV series ever created, permanently altering the scope of the fantasy genre.  Two-time Oscar nominee Ian McKellen will co-star playing the role of “Number Two.”
