R.I.P. David McCallum Can't Post

an early crush of mine because of "Man from U.N.C.L.E." and I was delighted to meet up with him again as Duckie in "N.C.I.S." (Something about shows with acronyms?) "Sapphire and Steel" was another favorite, sadly short-lived.

I am a dreamer of words, of written words.

very earliest screen crushes, too, also thanks to "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." - in fact a multi-generational crush in my family! He was memorable, too, much later in an episode of "Babylon Five".

A man who gave much screen delight over many years. May he rest in peace.

He'll be missed.

RIP Mr McCallum.
