UK Actor
​

David McCalum was a Scottish actor who became a breakout star in the 1960s on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. TV show as Russian agent Illya Kuryakin. The series was intended as a star vehicle for Robert Vaughn's role as Napoleon Solo, but McCallum's part was quickly elevated to co-star. In the depths of the Cold War a Russian/American spy partnership gave the show a unique spin on the secret agent genre. He continued to work mostly in British films and TV, but younger viewers know him as Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard on NCIS.
