I was flipping channels (again) and who should I discover but my old friend Illya Kuryakin. Actually, his name is David McCallum. Kuryakin was his character's name on the 60's hit TV show The Man From U.N.C.L.E. He was the second man--the first being Robert Vaughn (above, left). The show I saw McCallum on is NCIS. You may have seen Vaughn's many guest appearances on Law and Order.
You may have wondered why the show was called "man" rather than "men". Apparently, Vaughn was to star solo (his character just happened to be named Napolean Solo), but McCallum's small part in an early episode was a hit with fans and he was made a co-star.
