OT: R.I.P. - David McCallum

[Colbert17!]

Current generations know him for his role on NCIS but Boomers will always think of him as the cool Russian Illya Kuryakin on The Man From U.N.C.L.E
Age 90

I didn’t know him from either of those.

I watched the clip provided and immediately thought of The Great Escape. Great movie.

Lots of old-timers back then.
Leo G. Carroll was born in 1886 and fought in WWI.
He was also Marley's ghost in 1938 version of Christmas Carol

Enjoyed watching him in The Man from U.N.C.L.E and NCIS.
Just watched him on DVD as Ducky in NCIS Season 17 a couple months back.
Sad to hear of his passing. RIP Mr. McCallum.

Leo G. also played Topper in comedy series of same name in the 50’s iirc. Topper had to deal with ghosts of George and Marion Kirby(and their StBernard) whom only he could see. Loved that show when I was a kid.
