A Bermudian actor celebrated two major anniversaries this weekend in Europe.

Earl Cameron, one of the UK's first black television stars, travelled to Portmeirion, North Wales to celebrate his 90th birthday and the 40th anniversary of his appearance in the cult TV show "The Prisoner".

The majority of the programme was filmed in Portmeirion. Mr. Cameron was due to join "Prisoner" fans for the celebration at the "PM2007" convention yesterday.

The celebration will help raise money for Ty Gobaith, the only hospice in North Wales for terminally ill children. Celebrations in the past, PM2006 and PM2006, together raised £2,000 for the hospice.

Mr. Cameron's earliest TV role was in the 1960 BBC TV drama, "The Dark Man", where he played a West Indian cab driver in the UK. The programme showcased the poor state of race relations in the early 1960s with the prejudices he faced in his job.

The actor has worked with Patrick McGoohan on several occasions in the TV series "Dangerman", "The Prisoner" and "The Schizoid Man". Some of his other TV work include "The Zoo Gang", "Jackanory", "Dixon of Dock Green", "Doctor Who", "Neverwhere", "Waking the Dead", "Kavanagh QC", "Babyfather," "Dalziel and Pascoe", and "Lovejoy".

Mr. Cameron's cinema credits include a lead part in "The Pool of London" in 1951. He also appeared in "Tarzan the Magnificent", James Bond's "Thunderball" and recently 2005's "The Interpreter" and 2006's "The Queen" with Helen Mirren.
