David McCallum

Actor

David McCallum remains best remembered for playing Russian superspy Illya Kuryakin in the 1960s semi-spoof TV show The Man From U.N.C.L.E. The role made him a '60s sex symbol, famed for his blonde mane, black turtlenecks, and brooding presence. McCallum has also had a long career on stage and in movies including The Great Escape (1963) and Hear My Song (1991).

Extra credit: McCallum's father, a violinist, was once concertmaster of the London Philharmonic.
