FILE - David McCallum, star of the NBC-TV series"The Invisible Man," is shown during an interview with Jay Sharbutt at NBC studios in New York, Aug. 28, 1975. McCallum, who became a teen heartthrob in the hit series"The Man From U.N.C.L.E." in the 1960s and was the eccentric medical examiner in the popular"NCIS" 40 years later, died on Monday, Sept. 25, 2023. He was 90.
Scottish-born McCallum had been doing well appearing in such films"A Night to Remember" ,"The Great Escape" and"The Greatest Story Ever Told" . But it was"The Man From U.N.C.L.E." that made the blond actor with the Beatlesque haircut a household name in the mid-'60s. The role was relatively small at first, McCallum recalled, adding in a 1998 interview that “I’d never heard of the word ‘sidekick’ before.”
McCallum returned to television in 2003 in another series with an agency known by its initials — CBS’ “NCIS.” He played Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard, a bookish pathologist for the Naval Criminal Investigation Service, an agency handling crimes involving the Navy or the Marines. Mark Harmon played the NCIS boss.
