RIP David McCallum

How very sad. RIP David McCallum. A magnificent Scottish actor. I particularly enjoyed watching him in Sapphire & Steel, but was always delighted to see him pop up in things. Always a strong performer. For example he was an assured Eugene Wrayburn in the 1958 BBC version of Dickens’s Our Mutual Friend.

Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Invisible Man, Sapphire and Steel. My childhood was peppered with his work. I don't watch that kind of thing generally, but when visiting people who did (Mum,, maybe) I caught a couple of epsiodes of NCIS where he had a main cast role for pretty much its whole run (20 seasons!). He was also in one of the very early Babylon 5 season 1 episodes, of course.
