They didn't re-run that show when I was growing up. I knew Vaughn from movies like Bullit.
When the movie was released a year or so ago, it was a topic of conversation with my Mom over the phone. Apparently, it was one of those shows where everyone raced home to watch it or scheduled around it. She thought Vaughn and McCallum were quite the lookers back in there day.
RIP Vaughn. Thank you for making spycraft and espionage into entertainment. My favorite genre.

Oh no! I loved him in Baseketball. He's been the face of a local attorney here in Maine for years. RIP.

It's depressing. Another of my generation bites the dust. I guess being a curmudgeon has health benefits, who knew ?

A few years ago when Micheal Jackson and Bernie Mac died someone said I wonder who the third will be? I jokingly said I hope the next person is Billy Mays. Later that year it happened, I felt kind of bad about saying that, and several people in the office reminded me of it.

What the hell does that have to do with anything?
