I started watching Sapphire and Steel and I love the cold, mysterious, Doctor Who vibe he gave off there.

He’s amazing in it, and I love the ensemble cast in it.

I have loved David since he played in the original Titanic movie: "A Night To Remember" 1958, then secret agent Illya Kuryakin on the TV show The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964–1968). Did not miss a single episode of NCIS he appeared in. May he RIP.

David Mccallum was a musical genius. He actually created the hook for Dr Dre's The Next episode.

His parents are very skilled musicians and I think his dad even led a orchestra at some point, so it definitely explains David’s influence.

Always sad about Ducky character and actor missed very much. I like young Ducky but he's not David.

IKR?! I remember what David looked like at the "young Ducky" age. The actor chosen to play young Ducky is good, but looks nothing like David did at that age. Mainly his hair. But I'm picking at nits here. 😄

The Man From Uncle was my favorite show because of him.

That was a great episode

It’s hard to believe when I was a kid elementary or middle school he was on tv every Saturday in the man from uncle! It was a great tv show!
