Student at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, David McCallum made one of his first film appearances in 1963 in “The great Escape“, alongside Steve McQueen in particular. But it was when he was chosen the following year to play the enigmatic Soviet secret agent Illya Kouriakin in “Very special agents“that his career was truly booming. With lush blonde hair and turtlenecks, David McCallum represented a certain icon of charm. The series “Very special agents“only lasted four years, but his character followed him for life.”It’s been over 30 years but I can’t escape” he told the New York Times in 1998.
From 2003, he began his role as Dr. Donald.Ducky“Mallard, forensic doctor of the criminal investigation service of the American navy, NCIS, in the series of the same name. A real hit, it will be followed by millions of spectators in the United States and around the world, continuing through its 20 seasons of airing on American television. With his characteristic bow ties, he would appear in all but one episode of the first 15 seasons, before making more sporadic appearances from season 16.
