Lincoln Discussion Symposium

David McCallum, who plays the medical examiner in the television series NCIS, ran into forum member Jim Garrett at Union Station. Congratulations, David!

Older forum members may recall David as Illya Kuryakin, a Russian secret agent, in the television series The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

My younger brother and my Dad were huge Man From U.N.C.L.E. fans!

I loved The Man From Unclr. I hear there is going to be a movie feature on it.

I loved UNCLE, and I love NCIS now. Don't laugh, but it is the one show on television that I will stop whatever I am doing and sit down and watch for an hour. When it is preempted by something else, I throw a temper tantrum.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. show was my favorite. Napoleon Solo and Ilya were so cool! I read all the paperbacks, magazines, and comic books tied-in to that show. I also got the toy pistol in a black plastic briefcase for Christmas in, I think, 1965.

I wonder if Mr. McCallum realized that Jim Garrett is an operations director of THRUSH?

I remember having a little childhood crush on "Ilya".....
