The series NCIS lost one of the oldest members of their family:  David McCallum who played Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard.

From 2003 - 2024, he's appeared in 459 episodes.  Although he passed away in September last year, the production used previous footage and other techniques to include him in this week's story.

I didn't realize it before, but he was also in one of my favorite old movies, The Great Escape, with Steve McQueen, James Garner, Donald Pleasance, and many other great actors.  He played Ashley-Pitt aka "The Disperser" -- the guy who came up with the system for disposing of the dirt being removed from the huge tunnel being built.

He also starred in the series The Man from U.N.C.L.E., but I never watched it (I was a bit young then!).

He'll be missed by many.  He passed just 6 days after his 90th birthday.

Rest in peace, Ducky.
