NCIS veteran David McCallum, also known for his Emmy-nominated role in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., died peacefully this morning of natural causes at New York Presbyterian Hospital, surrounded by family. He was 90, having celebrated his birthday less than a week ago.

I watched some reruns of Jeremiah on Roku. He was a survivor of the big death and wore monastic garb.

Nooooo. I knew this would happen someday but this is a real shock. I’ve been a fan since his Outer Limits, Greatest Story Ever Told and Great Escape roles. Met him twice, once in Florida and once in London.

I belong to the UNCLE Agents group on Facebook. We just celebrated his birthday and now…

I've always preferred the Mad Magazine version: “The Man From A.U.N.T.I.E.” (The Association for Unbelievably Nauseating Television and Idiotic Entertainment).

FWIW, his son, Val McCallum, plays with Jackson Browne. He’s an excellent player.

“I've always preferred the Mad Magazine version: “The Man From A.U.N.T.I.E.”

You’ve reminded me of the MAD parody “Mission Improbable”, wherein Phelps approached a pop machine displaying a choice of several soda varieties and one “secret message.”

My kid sister was about 7-8 and loved that show and Ilya Kuryakin. I used to leave notes on her bed or tacked to her door and sign them from him. She believed it. 😆

As a boy I recall seeing the show a few times, and always thought he was the coolest. It must have been out of my normal TV watching hours as I don’t recall seeing it too often.

It was the only week night my parents let me stay up. Man From Uncle was on at 10 and we had 9:30 bedtime.
