Thought this might just warrant a thread, based on past obituary threads.
David McCallum: NCIS and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. actor dies aged 90
Article: www.bbc.co.uk
The piece on Breakfast this morning seemed longer than normal obituaries pieces, I guess in part as his career spanned 60+ years. It was interesting to see an interview with him from the 60s, though I've no idea if that was from a UK or USA programme.
It was notable that he was still working until fairly recently, having appeared in the most recent series of NCIS that finished airing in May. (A scene which made reference to his former role of Illya Kuryakin.) I've no idea whether he filmed any scenes for the next series, especially given the writers & actors strikes. I wouldn't be too surprised if the next series includes an episode dedicated to his character's passing, in addition to an obituary slide in the credits.
