Actor Robert Vaughn, best known for playing Napoleon Solo on the NBC spy drama “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,” died surrounded by his family after battling acute leukemia, his manager Mathew Sullivan tells FOX411.

He was 83.

“Mr. Vaughn passed away at 7:30 this morning,“ Sullivan said, calling Vaughn “a great human being and a great actor.”

“The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” aired from 1964-68 and made Vaughn one of TV’s biggest stars. …

I watched an episode just last week. What a horrible show. BTW, the episode guest-starred Sonny And Cher.

One of the original “Magnificent Seven”. Vaughn was in hundreds of movies and TV shows.

As I get older, I’ve learned to appreciate the hours that these actors and actresses put into their work...to simply entertain me. Don’t know what I’d do without my westerns.

Maybe horrible now, but as kid in the 60’s, I didn’t miss an episode

I think the show was meant to be a spoof of James Bond, but as kids, we took it seriously, and then the Man from Uncle, itself, was spoofed in Get Smart.

Loved that show back when I was 16. RIP Robert Vaughn.

Just watched a Columbo where Vaugh played the killer. I remember I used to watch that show. RIP

Very sad. But we can still see his side kick on NCIS as Dr. “Ducky” Mallard

Neither did I. Whouda thunk Elia Kuryakin would go into forensic science?

I notice a lot of comments about David McCallum in NCIS, but does no one remember "The Invisible Man"?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The perfect villain in “Bullet.”

BTW, the episode guest-starred Sonny And Cher.

That sounds like a Firesign Theater skit

There was a black and white episode I caught a few months ago that had a pre-Star Trek William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy.

[Jeff Chandler]

I saw that one.

They worked for the United Nations, for God’s sake.

Get Smart was BRILLIANT!!!
