    David McCallum, famous for portraying agent of U.N.C.L.E. Illya Kuryakin, has died at the age of 90. Story.

    had to google that, he was "Ducky" on NCIS. Never watched that show. Did I miss anything?

    All the teenage girls around me swooned for Illya though. How could a Russian played by a Scott pull that off?

    NCIS was OK until around the time Ziva left. And Ducky was an excellent character, probably more of a keynote for McCallum's career than Ilya. But it's tainted these days knowing that Mark Harmon was an abusive dick to Pauley Perrette.

    NCIS was good for a while.
