" He led an incredible life, and his legacy will forever live on through His Family and the countless hours On Film and television that will never go away. "
His role in The Man from U. N. C. L. E. - in which he played a Russian Agent - won him many fans, particularly Young Women charmed by his good looks.
The series ended in 1968, but not before he received several Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for playing The Role of Illya Kuryakin on The Show .
McCallum found roles in films including The Great Escape , The Greatest Story Ever Told, and A Night to Remember.
He also guest starred on TV series Perry Mason and The Outer Limits .
Born in Glasgow to parents who were classical musicians, he initially pursued a career in music before finding work as an actor.
