Actor David McCallum, known for his roles in "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." and "NCIS," has passed away at the age of 90. According to CBS, McCallum died on Monday at New York Presbyterian Hospital from natural causes, surrounded by family.

Born in Glasgow in 1933, McCallum came from a musical family. His father played violin and his mother played cello. At the age of 3, the family relocated to London. McCallum attended the Royal Academy of Music where he studied oboe before transitioning to theater after realizing his talents were better suited for that medium. However, due to his physical appearance, he faced challenges finding roles that matched him.

After serving in the military, McCallum returned to London and began working in live television and movies. In 1957, he starred alongside rising actress Jill Ireland in "Robbery Under Arms." The couple got married that same year and had three sons together.

McCallum later remarried and had a son and daughter with his second wife. Tragically, one of his sons passed away from an overdose.

David McCallum's contributions to the entertainment industry will be remembered fondly by fans around the world.
