Brief Bio on acting Career:David McCallum's parents were both members of the London Philharmonic; his mother was a cellist and his father was first violinist. The young Scots-born McCallum himself planned to pursue a musical career after serving with the Royal West African Frontier Force, but decided instead upon acting. Following his studies at the RADA, McCallum entered films in 1957, where he was usually cast as a troublemaking street punk or callow junior officer. His first American film (albeit filmed principally in England) was Freud (1962), in which he played a profoundly mother-obsessed mental patient. McCallum became the rage of the teeny-bopper set when he was cast as cool-headed Russian secret agent Ilya Kuryakin on TV's The Man From UNCLE (1964-68). At one point, McCallum was receiving far more fan mail than the series' ostensible star, Robert Vaughn; he took advantage of his celebrity to launch a brief singing career, duetting with Nancy Sinatra on the 1966 UNCLE episode "The Take Me to Your Leader Affair." He also wrote the music and lyrics and sang the title song of his 1967 movie vehicle Three Bites of the Apple. Following UNCLE, McCallum had a handful of solid dramatic film roles before returning to the small screen in the short-lived 1975 series The Invisible Man. A man of sundry outside interests, McCallum's range of expertise includes computers and small-arms weaponry. (Bio courtesy of Msn.com.)

          I fell hopelessly in LOVE with David McCullum when he was Illya Kuryakin on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. I think I must have a childhood scrap book with articles about him in it still. I couldn't understand how Jill Ireland could divorce him... He was so dreamy. I have no idea how old I was back then but I'm 52 now and still think he's terrific!
          My husband loved JAG so we watched as the new show began. I was sorry to say JAG seemed boring compared to NCIS. I love ALL the actors on the show.
          I also first saw Lauren Holly on "All My Children" and then a ALL TIME FAVORITE - Picket Fences. I love her on this show!

          Thank you, to ALL the Cast & Crew! Can't wait until the 200th Episode!

          I love the trivia. I am very fond of what most would call useless knowledge. Of course I don't have a reason to NOT like him and every reason TO. Thank you, Mr. McCallum, for your portrayal of Dr. Mallard.
