He had the greatest screen name ever - for an actor! I enjoyed his various roles, especially on the big screen. RIP.

Never really got on with The Man from U.N.C.L.E. but it was the likes of Sapphire and Steel that I remember - Great series and ahead of it's time. On the big screen, it would have to be The Great Escape - though he appeared in far more than I had thought looking at reports.

Illya Kuryakin maybe - I'll always remember him as Steel...... R.I.P.

Yes, but you're a bit younger than most of the old farts respected senior members on here.
