David McCallum in a Man From U.N.C.L.E. publicity still

Today, Sept. 19, is David McCallum's 88th birthday.

He's almost the last man standing from The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Robert Vaughn is gone. So is Norman Felton, the producer who met with Ian Fleming in 1962. So is Sam Rolfe, who took the Felton-Fleming ideas and put them into a script. Many of the actors are gone, including Leo G. Carroll.

Earlier this year, Richard Donner, who directed the first U.N.C.L.E. episodes to prominently feature McCallum's Illya Kuryakin character, also passed away.

There's not a whole lot that needs saying. McCallum had a great career. He still has many fans who admire him. Happy birthday. We'll leave it at that.
