Goodbye Napolion Solo

I've just seen this news. My sisters and myself all loved The Man from Uncle and DH and I also loved hustle. Wasn't he in Coronation Street for a while or have I got that wrong? RIP

I thought he was great in The Magnificant Seven

RIP

He was one of my first crushes! I was 7 years old, and thought Napoleon Solo was the bee's knees!
I loved him in Bullitt too, although he couldn't hold a candle to Steve McQueen.
KatyK You're right, he was in Corrie, he played Milton Fanshaw.
For me though, he was just perfect as Albert Stroller in Hustle, he was still gorgeous!
R.I.P.

Oh watch out, you'll have grannylyn complaining that you are too keen to report someone's demise
I suppose it's the generation of actors/musicians/comedians we knew in our early adult lives, but there's a lot of them dying

I am sorry I spelt Napoleon incorrectly! I remember most of our class sent off for UNCLE I.D badges. We were all smitten with him and David McCullum. Hadn't realised he was in Corrie too.

I only just saw this. The Man From Uncle was required viewing when I was at Art School. I still love watching David MacCullum in NCIS!

I love watching 'Ducky' too Deedaa he's not aged well though has he I had loads of pictures of him all over my bedroom walls when he was Illiya.

RIP Robert

I am in a better mood today daphne !

But I preffered David Mcallam ( sp?)

um

Ooh, Illiya Kuryakin (David McCallum) he was my hero! I always preferred him to Napoleon Solo, maybe because he's English. I did watch Robert Vaughn in The Protectors though. I thought that was brilliant.

I think a lot of us fancied Illya in our youth, but I've just remembered Robert Vaughan was in Coronation Street at one time, and that programme Hustle on UK tv. He was a versatile actor!

I never liked The Man From Uncle series, but did see Vaughn in other dramas, he was a good actor ( wasted doing all that tosh.)

sorry!
