He was a fine actor who did particularly well in The Hustle TV series a few years ago, appearing with a good looking young cast. He stood tall among them - authoritative, cool and convincing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052590092206297006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-83150225884135621132016-11-13T18:25:15.146+00:002016-11-13T18:25:15.146+00:00Loved him in UNCLE though more of a David McCullen...Loved him in UNCLE though more of a David McCullen fan,even as Duckie in NCIS.

My best friend and I even told other kids Robert Vaughn was our cousin, which was especially odd since everyone knew my best friend and I were not related. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment, "This too shall pass," while not belittling the fear, sadness, and anger people are feeling. You're right, it SHALL pass.

'UNCLE' on TV was unmissable yet, oddly, something we just took for granted.<br />I always felt he was never given the opportunity to use his full potential, and he consequently went largely under-appreciated. This came out strongly on the news yesterday evening when his death was reported on the BBC 6 o'clock bulletin right at the end, almost as an afterthought (Fiona Bruce actually smiling!), and was not mentioned at all on the ITV and Channel 4 bulletins. <br />Anyway, I'm one who mourns his passing.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-41164346052437977182016-11-12T14:17:02.623+00:002016-11-12T14:17:02.623+00:00Kissinger be damned.
