McCallum's dad, a symphony musician, suggested to Jimmy Page that he try a violin bow on his guitar. The rest is history.

Both David and Robert always had great hair.

RIP Robert Vaughn (1932-2016) and David McCallum (1933-2023)😢

Born in 1954.....me and my little brother played Man from UNCLE against other kids in the neighborhood.

RIP David McCallum 2023

I always adored David McCallum ❤. He was a great actor and had terrific talent.

It didn't matter if it had been 13 or 14 years since they had seen each other because the bond was still there. It was obvious that Robert and David still loved each other. I wonder if they talked on the phone back then, I'm sure they did. The interview was too short, I wanted them to talk forever. I will always love both of them. They were the best and very handsome. The M.F.U. was my favorite show and always will be. Robert is resting in Heaven and David is still with us. Both of them were/are still well loved by many. Thanks for sharing the interview.

I was a faithful man from Uncle fan. in addition to the TV show they also put out quite a few novels based on Man from Uncle themes .I remember having about a half a dozen of them. I just came across this thanks for putting it up.

I very much enjoyed watching David in the series "Sapphire & Steel" and "The Invisible Man" as well.

And now "NCIS". Wish Robert could've had a guest role there. I think I would've liked "West Wing" or "L&O" better if he'd been a regular chr. on either!

Been in love with Joan from the first time she was on TV!!!! ❤

If they'd had a producer who really got what made that series so special, there might've been more U.N.C.L.E. reunion movies. Oh, well. Nice we got the one at least. *R.I.P, Dr. Vaughn.*

Loved David in whatever else he did. Got to meet him too in Atlanta! Very kind as well.

I worked at Radio City Music Hall in the early 80s and saw Robert Vaughn at the concession stand, he likes Milk Duds.

I guess the film was the TV movie - The Fifteen years later Affair - released in 1983 It was good fun from what I recall

Ihad forgotten how incredibly Beautiful Joan Lunden was. I have been watching NCIS for years which David McCallum is in.

My brother in law used to see David McCallum on the London underground most mornings back in the eighties when he was working there.

Same here. Favourite adventure series ever.

That was one of my favorite television shows--I hated when it was canceled. The Man from UNCLE and The Twilight Zone were my favorite television shows--nothing could touch them until The X Files, Weeds, and Power hit the airwaves.

I presume they were talking about the making of The Return of the Man From Uncle (1983).

Vaughn and McCaullum did come from different political view points, but it never got in the way of them working together. I think Luden was too nosy, irritating rude with her questions, trying to provoke some drama or reveal dirt.

They would do the reunion movie and do the A-Team later.

They filmed part of that reunion movie in Hempstead, Long Island, for some reason. I remember seeing the sign on the motel (!) where they were staying as I drove by.

They played together in the episode 'Say UNCLE Affair' on the "A-Team". It didn't really have anything to do with "MFU", only that they were in that series together. David played a Russian-hence, the stereotype. Robert was a regular though.
