David Keith McCallum (born September 19, 1933 in
Glasgow) is a Scottish actor and the son of
concertmaster violinist David McCallum Sr.. He is
best known for his role as Illya Kuryakin, a
Russian secret agent, on The Man from U.N.C.L.E..

McCallum began his career as a bit-part actor in
British films of the 1950s.  The Man from
U.N.C.L.E., intended as a vehicle for Robert
Vaughn, unexpectedly made McCallum into a sex
symbol.  Although he subsequently became a
familiar face on television, he was never able to
achieve the same level of popular success as he
had done with his role as Kuryakin.  His
best-known roles were in
Sapphire_%26_Steel|Sapphire and Steel (opposite
Joanna Lumley), as the lead in a 1970s remake of
The Invisible Man, and as Judas Iscariot in The
Greatest Story Ever Told.

He was married to the actress Jill Ireland from
1957 to 1967. They had three sons, Paul, Jason
(adopted), and Valentine. Ireland left him for
Charles Bronson who co-starred with him in The
Great Escape and is said to have warned McCallum
in advance that he intended to steal his wife. 
McCallum married Katherine Carpenter in September
1967. They have two children; Peter and Sophie.

He is currently starring in the CBS television
series NCIS (TV series)|NCIS as Dr. Donald "Ducky"
Mallard.
