Birth name
David Keith McCallum
Mini biography
His father David, 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 Russian agent Ilya Kuryakin in TV's "The Man from U.N.C.L.E". (1964-68).
