David McCallum, who played Dr. Donald Ducky Mallard on CBS procedural NCIS and Illya Kuryakin on 60s series The Man From U.N.C.L.E, has died at 90. The actor passed away peacefully Monday morning of natural causes surrounded by family at New York Presbyterian Hospital, CBS said in a statement.

Son Peter McCallum remembered him as the kindest, coolest, most patient and loving father and as a true renaissance man. Added Peter, He was fascinated by science and culture and would turn those passions into knowledge. For example, he was capable of conducting a symphony orchestra and (if needed) could actually perform an autopsy, based on his decades-long studies for his role on NCIS.

He ended his statement with, Somehow, even at 90, Daddy never grew old.
