I have to admit that I do watch NCIS, but only for the pretty
Goth girl and surly boss are a hoot to watch. He gives her looks of "Speak English, woman" and she calls him "my hero" as a term of address. The English pathologist hits most of my middle-aged Brit buttons, too. The young pretties are eh for me.
Well, the English pathologist is actually a Scot who used to be the Russian other Man From U.N.C.L.E., Ilya Kurayakin.
I knew he looked familiar! I thought he was the guy who played the last regular-series Dr. Who.

U.N.C.L.E. was one of only three television shows I watched during the sixties. Star Trek and Dark Shadows were the other two.
ILYA! (swooning)
Ilya Kuryakin. Sigh. My first major crush on a television character.
(bouncing)
Ginger! Remain the episode where he actually met the woman he married in real life, I forget the actress's name, and they were tied to a chair together in a lab in the episode, and you could just feel him falling for her?
OK, that's it. Is that show on DVD?
Jill Ireland. No, it's not on DVD. I've put in my e-mail in several places to be notified when it is. I want The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Max Headroom on DVD, damn it.
He's still yummy. Now with more added geek, which, you know, just makes him yummier.
I saw him in a play in New York and he was excellent. A client of the BF directed it and told him DmcC could not have been more gracious and charming. There were always a goodly number of 40-something ladies in the audience for whom he was their first real crush and his reaction to that was that he had always been impressed and pleased with their loyalty and that it made him feel lucky. He was not embarassed or dismissive about having been Illya, but instead quite tickled to be a part of pop culture.
