BIOGRAPHY:

His father, David McCallum Sr., was first violinist for the London Philharmonic and his mother, Dorothy Dorman, was a cellist, so it is not surprising that he was originally headed for a career in music (oboe), studying briefly at the Royal Academy of Music. He left that, however, for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He made nearly a dozen movies in the United Kingdom before his critically acclaimed work as Lieutenant Wyatt in Billy Budd (1962). He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the blond U.N.C.L.E. agent Illya Kuryakin in TV's "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." (1964).


TRIVIA:
  • One of the first Brit actors to study the Method style of acting.
  • Introduced his first wife, 'Jill Ireland' (qv), to her second husband, 'Charles Bronson' (qv), during the filming of _The Great Escape (1963)_ (qv).
  • Father was concertmaster and violinist 'David McCallum Sr.' (qv).
  • Lives on Long Island, New York
  • Was stricken with rheumatic fever as a child.
  • Has two grandchildren.
  • His adoptive son, Jason McCallum, died of an accidental drug overdose in 1985.
  • Hit #117 on the Billboard Singles Charts in 1966 with "Communication" (Capitol 5571)
