In the 1998 film remake of ''The Avengers'' he had a voice-only cameo as "Invisible Jones."

			==Return to the US==

	Macnee ~~became more successful from~~ his ~~experience on the North~~ American ~~continent,~~ and ~~returned~~ for ~~a time~~ to ~~Britain to produce~~ a ~~television~~ series on the ~~noted figure~~ [[w:~~Winston Churchill~~\|~~Winston Churchill~~]].		Following the end of ''The Avengers'', Macnee returned to the US as his primary base, appearing in many American films and TV shows for the next three decades. His credits included such shows as ''Night Gallery'' and ''Columbo''. He reunited with his ''Avengers'' co-star Diana Rigg in an episode of her short-lived 1973 sitcom ''Diana'' as an old flame of hers. His iconic status as John Steed also led to other spy-oriented projects such as a regular role in the short-lived spy series ''Gavilan'' (1982), the 1983 TV-movie ''Return Of The Man From U.N.C.L.E'' and the James Bond film, ''[[w:A View To A Kill\|A View To A Kill]]''. (1985) He also played Dr. Watson in three different Sherlock Holmes TV-movies between 1976 and 1992.

	~~Returning to America (later becoming an American citizen in 1959) for roles in what were to become classic 1950s television programs such as ''The Twilight Zone'', ''Playhouse 90''~~ and ''Rawhide'', Macnee landed the leading role that would define him as an icon with the coming of the "secret agent" spy genre: the character of John Steed, the derby-wearing, umbrella-carrying secret agent in the British TV series ''The Avengers''. Steed became the focus of the show after the first season, playing opposite a series of female partners such as Honor Blackman, Diana Rigg, and Linda Thorson. Macnee lent his costume designing skills to the series as well. The series ran from 1961 to 1969, and Macnee later reprised the character of Steed in ''The New Avengers'', which ran from 1976 to 1977.		==Galactica and Glen Larson==

	~~During and after the immediate success~~ of ''~~The Avengers~~''~~, Macnee has successfully used his talents~~ and ~~his~~ ''~~Avengers~~'' ~~status in minor~~ and ~~supporting roles~~ in ~~many American feature films and television shows~~ of the ~~1970s, 1980s, and 1990s~~, ~~including ''Matt Helm'' (a very loose adaptation~~ of the ~~spy character)~~, ~~''Night Gallery'', ''The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries'', ''Hotel'' and ''Frasier''~~.		Macnee first worked for [[Glen A. Larson]] in an episode of ''Alias Smith And Jones'' and later ''The Hardy Boys''. For the [[Original Series]] he was first hired to do the uncredited voice of the [[Imperious Leader]] and the opening narration that began, "There are those who believe, that life here began out there." This led to him being cast as the mysterious Count [[Iblis]] in the two-part episode "[[War of the Gods, Part I\|War of the Gods]]," which became perhaps his most famous role outside that of John Steed.

	Macnee ~~portrayed the mysterious [[Iblis]] in the [[Original Series]] two-part episode "[[War of the Gods, Part I\|War of the Gods]]," and~~ also ~~lent his voice talents to~~ the ~~opening narration of the series, which began with "Life here...began out there." Macnee would also~~ co-~~star in other [[Glen A. Larson]] series, including the short-lived~~ ''~~NightMan~~'' and Larson~~'s most successful~~ series ~~to-date,~~ ''~~Magnum P.I~~.''.		After ''Galactica'', Macnee also guested on the Larson co-created ''Magnum P.I.'' and had a recurring role on the 1997 Larson series ''NightMan.''

	~~Macnee's voice talents also featured in a 1998 film revival of ''The Avengers'', not as John Steed, but in a cameo role as "Invisible Jones".~~		==Personal Life and Death==

	Macnee ~~has been~~ married ~~to Baba Majos de Nagyzsenye,~~ his ~~third~~ wife, ~~since 1988~~. ~~He has~~ two children, Rupert and Jenny, ~~by his first marriage to~~ ~~Barbara Douglas (from 1942 to~~ 1956). His second ~~wife~~ (~~1965-1969~~) was actress Kate Woodville. The notable British television magician David Nixon was his cousin.		Macnee married his first wife, Barbara Douglas (1921–2012), in 1942. They had two children, Rupert and Jenny, and a grandson, Christopher ("Kit"). The divorced in 1956.
