On September 25th,  actor David McCallum  passed away, surrounded by his family and his wife Katherine,  to whom he had been married for 56 years, at the age of 90, just days after reaching this symbolic milestone.  The star of the series  NCIS , who died of natural causes, left behind five children and eight grandchildren, all deeply saddened.  In his tribute, shared by CBS , his son Peter had heartfelt words for his father.  "He was capable of conducting a symphony orchestra and (if necessary) could actually perform an autopsy, thanks to his decades of research for his role on NCIS ," he wrote. The actor, who played Dr. Donald Mallard,  nicknamed Ducky, on  NCIS , portrayed  his character for no fewer than twenty seasons.

Upon the announcement of his death, several actors who had the opportunity to work with him paid tribute.  Among them was Mark Harmon ,  who played Special Agent Gibbs and left the series in 2021.  "David lived an incredible, full, and long life. I was impressed when I first met him, and  all the actors on the show were honored to have worked with him . My condolences to Katherine and his family,"  he told  TV Line .
