00:00We're talking about knowledge of the future in movies, YouTube channel, Easter Egg Psychic.
00:06In this video, I'll take a look at actor Leo McKern.
00:10He became a household name in the BBC TV drama Rumpel of the Bailey,
00:15created and written by barrister John Mortimer.
00:18This ran for seven series, 44 episodes, between 1978 and 1992.
00:24He also played number two in the 1967 ITV spy drama The Prisoner, starring Patrick McGowan.
00:34So I took a look at Leo McKern.
00:37I thought he may resemble actress Helen Mirren,
00:41and possibly another actor, actress, or group from some movie, TV series, etc.
00:47I was not quite sure of.
00:49Alright, connections.
00:50The French Lieutenant's Woman, based on the 69 John Fowles novel.
00:55This was adapted to a romantic drama film in 1981,
01:00adapted by playwright Harold Pinter, and starring Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons.
01:06David Warner had a part as Murphy.
01:09Leo McKern played Dr. Grogan in this.

01:17My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic.
01:19There I go back and look at movies and television from the past.
01:23I analyze these for possible references to future media.
01:26These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams.
01:31Hidden in the subtext of the work in question,
01:33I also use an unconventional method where I look at the likenesses of the actors.
01:38And what I've found is you can take the likenesses,
01:43match these up to some of the anecdotal items,
01:46and show past, present, and future information about actors
01:49and other personalities that may resemble the personalities
01:53in the movie or television episode that you're watching.
