Scottish actor David McCallum, known for his role as a secret agent in the 1960s spy drama ‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’ has passed away at the age of 90.
The actor is said to have peacefully departed this morning due to natural causes at New York Presbyterian Hospital, with family members by his side. The previously scheduled 20th anniversary NCIS marathon will now feature an ‘In Memoriam’ card in his honour.
The Glasgow-born McCallum was the last remaining original cast member on CBS’ ‘NCIS’ portraying the eccentric but efficient Chief Medical Examiner Donald ‘Ducky’ Mallard.
One tribute came in via social media from the NCIS account “We will miss his warmth and endearing sense of humour that lit up any room or soundstage he stepped onto,”
“David was a gifted actor and author, and beloved by many around the world,” the NCIS tribute said.

Marcia Gay Harden was up against some stiff competition in 2001, the year she won the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for “Pollock.” In her winning turn as painter Lee Krasner, Harden had to contend with Judi Dench for “Chocolat,” Kate Hudson and Frances McDormand for “Almost Famous,” and Julie Walters for “Billy Elliot.” In a new interview with Vulture, Harden implies there was one nominee who wasn’t so happy over her surprise win that night.
“It’s new blood. It just felt great,” she said of the unexpected win. “And by the way, I felt the girls were really happy for me as well. There was one I will not mention — but it wasn’t Kate — who seemingly wasn’t so happy.”
When pressed further by writer Matt Jacobs, Harden ruled out Julie Walters, and said “I’m friends with Frances McDormand. There you go,” leaving only Judi Dench as the only possibility.

Created and written by Issacharoff, Raz, Prestwich and Yorkin, Hit and Run centers on a happily married man whose life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a mysterious hit and run accident.

This marks the second series order in two months for Mandeville Films, which also is behind the new ABC drama series The Fix. Hit and Run falls outside of the company’s deal at ABC Studios.

Exclusive: Richard Dreyfuss has joined the TBS comedy pilot Your Family Or Mine, from Greg Malins, Sony Pictures TV and Fanfare. Based on an Israeli format, the show centers on Oliver and Kelli, who are living proof of the adage “When you marry someone, you don’t just marry them, you marry their whole family.” It is a family comedy with an unusual structure — each episode focuses on a different side of the family: one week featuring the couple dealing with Kelli’s family, the next spent with Oliver’s. Dreyfuss, repped by Apa and The Schiff Co., will play Ricky, Oliver’s father, opposite JoBeth Williams’ Louis. This marks the first series-regular role for Oscar-winner Dreyfuss since his starring turn on the 2001 CBS drama The Education Of Max Bickford. Over the past decade he’s done arcs on Showtime’s Weeds and NBC’s Parenthood. He most recently wrapped...

AMC, Fox TV Studios and The Killing developer/executive producer Veena Sud are putting the team back together in anticipation of a formal green light for a third season of the mystery series to air on AMC and Netflix. Dawn Prestwich and Nicole Yorkin, who served as co-executive producers in the first and second season, are expected to return as executive producers, and have started working with Sud on stories for Season 3. Fox TV Studios already has the cast — including breakout stars Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman — locked in for Season 3, which made a resurrection of the series, cancelled by AMC in July, an easier proposition. The show has been talking to key behind-the-scene auspices, including Prestwich and Yorkin, to return, as Season 3 is eying a February production start. Veteran TV writer-producers Prestwich and Yorkin, who won a WGA Award...

Michael Mosley plays Jim in a new Off-Broadway production of "The Glass Menagerie." As the actor describes the iconic gentleman caller, "He has huge heart but not much between his ears. He really thinks he is helping Laura, but he's way off and ends up doing the worst possible thing, compounding an already difficult situation." After all, Mosley says, Jim is in no position to see her again. "I'd like to think that when Jim leaves their home he's learned something: that in the future he'd better shut up and check his impulses." Mosley was determined not to allow Jim to become a prop, which can easily happen; he envisions Jim as a disappointed man, despite his cocky style. And, as much as Jim has affected Laura, she has elicited troubling feelings in him that he can't quite define. "He says to her at one point, 'You make me feel sort of…...

Michael Mosley is Drew Suffin, Dr. Cox's No. 1 guy on the ninth season of "Scrubs." Find out how Michael got there and what might be in store for his character.
After high school and a brief try at college, Michael Mosley packed up and moved to Boston with a friend. "We were in and out of youth hostels -- when we weren't sleeping in our car," laughs Mosley. Eventually he landed in New York's Academy of Dramatic Arts, which snowballed into small roles on series "The Education of Max Bickford" and "Kidnapped" and in the movie "Swimmers."
But it wasn't until Mosley's fiancee Anna Camp was cast as Sarah Newlin on "True Blood" that he finally made the trek out west to California and landed the role of Drew Suffin on "Scrubs."
It sounds like a dream job. "Everybody's been really great and really nice and just very supportive and cool,...
