He was just great in NCIS, and I enjoyed his acting in almost anything he did, including Illya Kuryakin (yeah, I'm that old). He had a petty prolific career. Gonna watch some of those UNCLE series to celebrate him.

All else were bit parts compared to... Illya Kuryakin on “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” in the 1960s.
On a side note... Robert Vaughn (Napoleon Solo) passed away in 2016.

The world is no longer as safe as it used to be... since these two U.N.C.L.E. agents left us. :(

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 15 years?
I don't watch much TV but I never missed Dr. Donald Mallard and Jethro Gibbs. Their on-screen chemistry was spot on. Much respect for his acting chops. RIP Sir. You did your job well.

Perhaps his best part was as Flight Lieutenant Simon in the legendary Colditz TV series.

Also as Michael Caine would say "Not a lot of people realise David McCallum was a weegie" albeit surname starting Mc is a clue.
