He remained on the cast of “NCIS” into his ninth decade, after a TV and film career that first took him to stardom as spy Illya Kuryakin in the 1960s.
In a statement distributed by the network, son Peter McCallum praised his father’s kindness and devotion to family, and his love of science and culture. “Somehow, even at 90, Daddy never grew old,” he said.
“He was that serious about it,” Whitmore recalled. “The studio went with it, and of course, David McCallum is gold.” At 90, Mr. McCallum had scaled back his work with the show and was ready to retire, executive producer Charles Floyd Johnson told the publication. Partnered with Robert Vaughn’s Napoleon Solo, Kuryakin undertook various missions in international espionage against an evil organization that wanted to conquer the world. The show aired from 1964 to 1968, transitioning from black-and-white to color, and helped fuel a craze for spies and their exploits.Mr. McCallum was recognized with two Emmy nominations for this part, and a third for the TV movie “Teacher, Teacher” in 1969.
