pjbear05 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I remember the girls in my junior high classes swooning over the exploits of Illya Kuryakin. RIP, David. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) This one made me feel old! When we were in grade school, everyone (boys too!) thought he was so cool as Illya Kuryakin. (My older neighbor Mark had his poster up for years.) I loved him on NCIS as the still cool coroner. . RIP, David.

zepphead Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Christmas 1965 (or thereabouts!) I got this from Santa! The Man From Uncle was huge at the time and I thought I was super cool as an Uncle agent! This would have been my first memories of David McCallum. He has had a long and wonderfully varied career both in cinema and on TV. My missus is a big fan of NCIS and loved his "Ducky" character. RIP David. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMontanaSKY Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Awww. I had a little crush on the guy. It's easy to love men who seem intelligent. On to the next adventure my man! 90 years is a good long run. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMontanaSKY Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 On a less serious note, his work on that "NCIS" TV show did help people understand the professionals who work in lab settings- they have to be very meticulous and careful.

Skin Bag Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 This hit me hard. David McCallum was my first celebrity crush 60 years ago and I've loved him ever since. My best friend and I started a Man From U.N.C.L.E. fan club in our tiny Missouri farm town.....we gave a nod to Napoleon Solo but it was really all about Agent #2 Illya Kuryakin.
