I just watched “Black Sky” of NCIS and got to admit, Ducky was the Awesome Duck 🦆! Would’ve been sweet to see Robert Vaughn and David McCullam together again in an NCIS episode together as a duplicate double agent. Ducky meets his Russian double.
@@lawnmowermanTXReminds me of when McCallum and Vaughn appeared together on "The A-Team". Saw it for the first time as a rerun in 2009 after being a regular NCIS viewer for years. As a result, the McCallum character seemed like a transition between Ilya Kuriyakin (he was a Russian agent) and Ducky (wore glasses and a bow tie).
Yes getting old sucks as time does not stand still, but we have to remember that every ending is simply a new beginning, as one of my fave shows says to quote greys anatomy the carousel never stops turning
Sadly, I noticed that too. Even so, Ducky will forever live in our hearts and memories. He was a sage if ever there was one, and he will be missed by many!
He sounded quite tired by then. I noticed that in his podcasts that his energy was low too. My mother had a stroke at 80 and her energy and voice weren't the same anymore. RIP, David. I'll miss you along with your many other fans!
Goodbye and RIP, David/Duckie. I have enjoyed watching you since I was a little kid in the early 1960s. Whether your were playing the evolving lab subject north of England character in Outer Limits’ The Sixth Finger, playing Ilya Kuriakin across from Robert Vaughn’s Napoleon Solo in Man From U.N.C.L.E., or Ducky in NCIS, your superb acting has never failed to impress me. Thank you for the many decades of joy and entertainment you have brought to us fans.
Awhhh Ducky I’m so saddened to learn of your passing. Thank you for being the ultimate gentleman, talented actor, but most of all - such a good family man and role model! Prayers for your family. Rest In Peace
They better give him a major send off when the next season starts. Gibbs, Tony, Ziva, and Abby better be at that funeral. We better be either seeing Gibbs or Jimmy doing the speech.
There will be. It was confirmed that the second episode of the 21st Season will be completely about the death of Ducky. What I particularly like is that Brian Dietzen, the actor of Jimmy Palmer, will write the episode😊
You’re such a dear gentleman. You’ll be truly missed thanks for all the wonderful episodes. And being a consistent role model for anyone to follow. RIP.
I'm currently rewatching NCIS from the beginning, I'm up to season 5. To see this clip by comparison is a real shock. Seeing someone ageing really does make you aware of your own mortality. RIP David.
Palmer may have big shoes to fill, but as Ducky said, "I trust you will carry on when I'm gone." Also, Brian Dietzen co-wrote the script for David's tribute episode.
I have never seen NCIS, but i have seen David McCallum as Harold Bride in the movie a night to remember (1958) as Lt Cmdr Eric Ashley Pitt in the movie the Great Escape (1963), and heard him as the narrator of the television movie documentary titanic the complete story (1994). Rest in Peace Mr David McCallum.
Conocí y amé a David en el "Agente de C.I.P.O.L" , seguí su carrera todo lo que pude y fue una gran alegría verlo en una excelente serie que encara una de mis temáticas preferidas.Querido David:voy a extrañarte dentro y fuera de NCIS ,descansa en paz.❤️
you could almost feel it the way he's talking...its sad every time i see it he and Gibbs made NCIS i know t why i started watching his old world charm matched with Gibb's strong as a mountain of a man presence
When I was in my late teens I saw David in that movie about the dambusters. I still remember that I laughed about that actor with his strange blonde haircut and that "stylish" moonface. I sorted out later that this actor was David McCallum. So I was surprised when I first saw NCIS that in the cast THIS actor was part of it. His way to act and his kind of humor which I believe isn't lost in translation to german, made him to my personal main character beside Gibbs, Tony and Abby. The good die young - the best stay forever! See u in heaven Ducky
RIP to you David. The man behind Donald "Ducky" Mallard. Our favourite medical examiner. Aside from the link to Disney's Donald, the moniker couldn't be more appropriate, as Ducky's surname is a particular species of duck. May you be resting peacefully, for you, Ducky, showed us that those who are gone do speak to us, all we have to do is listen.
The messed up thing with Fornell is that he & Gibbs didn't know each other in the first episode, but later in the series it was established that Gibbs had warned Fornell about marrying Diane with whom he had a daughter who was an adult well before Gibbs left the series.
When I saw this scene when it aired, I noticed clearly that something was not right with David McCallum. It was a surprise to hear of his death and it was saddening that I notice this in this clip as I though he had a stroke etc.
B look ess him you could see he wasnt Right, a True Professional , Career going back to the 50s , certainly the 60s, for Film & TV Programs Series.....one of his best two IMO The Great Escape , nick name " Dispersal" & The Mosquito Squadron .....RIP David
All of ya’all’s sweet words to Dr. MALARD , “Ducky” have been so sweet to read . I agree with nearly everything said. But I was introduced to him in “ The Man From Uncle” He was the second man I ever loved. I will not even try to spell his characters name but , those dreamy eyes, those golden locks, and that knowing smile. A lot like Gibbs when he lets you know ,he has you! Forever in my heart dear one.
R.I.P David aka Steele and Ducky. You bought me joy from sapphire and steele and all the way through NCIS. You will leave a huge hole in the acting hall of fame ❤
Loved you from the first time I saw you in the very first Titanic movie then loved it when I saw you on murder she wrote then on to the best of them all NCIS. You will be missed😢
My father introduced me to him on "A Night to Remember" too. He later asked "why Harold Bride was now a UNCLE agent in a day show?" one day. I knew he was teasing me and almost ignored him, but watched it with him anyway. Glad I did abd got hooked on David, "MFU". He used the 2 actors-Wm. Shatner and Leonard Nimoy on 'The Project Strigas Affair' to watch a new programme a year later. The "UNCLE" agent became the starship Captain Kirk and the THRUSH agent , his Vulcan First Officer, Mr. Spock. I was glad to later all 3 eventually. I met David after his performances in a couple of plays in Atlanta in '76 and '78. He was most kind and so multi-talented. Hopefully, my father will be looking David up to play golf somewhere or discuss movies we'd seen him in as well.
He might have been fighting for his life but boy, looks wise, he still looked fantastic for being 90 years of age. Luck of the genes, I guess. He was the heartthrob of many in the mid-60's when I was growing up. Ilya was super "cool" to me (and all the women, too).
Veo esta serie casi desde que tengo memoria, casi 18 años viéndolo en la TV, todas las semanas, era imposible no encariñarse así como era imposible que no me doliese su muerte. Doctor Mallard, Ducky, David, gracias por todo…
I.believe that is his current wife. They’ve been married since he and Jill divorced. In the 60’s I think. No disrespect but I doubt it would be a picture of Jill.
I enjoyed Ducky's goodbye, however, I was disappointed, especially, that Gibbs, and Abby did not make an appearance! At least Tony showed. As far as that goes, what happened to the others that worked with Ducky; Bishop, Ziva, Sloan, and many others. Maybe they were invited and declined; Maybe they weren't invited? I remember him in Man from U.N.C.L.E., I watched it in the first run season.
Poor David sounds so weak. You can hear him struggling to get the words out. A fighter to the end ❤️
“Ducky, good to see you again.”
“Likewise, I just wish it wasn’t under these circumstances.”
“You and me both.”
That part hits different now
RIP David McCallum (September 19, 1933 - September 25, 2023), aged 90
You will be remembered as a legend.
Super Legend IMHO!

Goodbye Ducky. Rest In Peace old friend. Thank you for being our friend, doctor, and father figure like Gibbs

Love You, Dr Mallard🦆 We shall miss you but will have fond memories❤. God speed.
Abso-freakin-lutely
NCIS will never be thd same with out Ducky. He never looked his age.
RIP Ducky. Forever missed.
Thank you for all your entertainment💔😭
saw ET announcement,,, showed him at 83...looked like a 60 year old.
This getting old stuff SUCKS. All my favorite actors and musicians are kicking the bucket.
Thanks for sticking around as long as you did
Mr. McCallum.
It's a terrible loss but that's the magic of tv and movies the actors may be gone but their work and in a way them shall live in forever
Yes getting old sucks as time does not stand still, but we have to remember that every ending is simply a new beginning, as one of my fave shows says to quote greys anatomy the carousel never stops turning
You’ll be Next…
RIP David McCallum he is going to be miss forever with his family and friend today of his age 90 year's old :( :( :(
Working at a job you love is the ultimate retirement. RIP - Ilya and Ducky. You are missed.
You could see his age catching up to him here...
Sadly, I noticed that too. Even so, Ducky will forever live in our hearts and memories. He was a sage if ever there was one, and he will be missed by many!

Rest in peace. Ducky the show will never be the same. 😢
Goodnight and goodbye Ducky....
RIP David Mc Callum Jr (1933-2023)...
They better give him a major send off when the next season starts. Gibbs, Tony, Ziva, and Abby better be at that funeral. We better be either seeing Gibbs or Jimmy doing the speech.
He deserves that much. The loyal fans of many, many years deserve that much!
Hopefully Gibbs, Tony, Ziva, Morrow, Fornell, Jarvis, Reeves, Quinn, Franks, Bishop, Sloane, Palmer, Todd, Dorneget, Knight, Kasie, Torres, Abby, McGee, Parker, Vance, Davenport, and Jenny will all be there at Ducky’s funeral.
There will be. It was confirmed that the second episode of the 21st Season will be completely about the death of Ducky. What I particularly like is that Brian Dietzen, the actor of Jimmy Palmer, will write the episode😊
Yes. I had seen that statement. Thanks
@@ianmintz12806Morrow,Jarvis,Reeves,Franks,Todd,Dorneget and Jenny are all dead.

We're gonna miss you, Ducky. NCIS won't be the same without you. Palmer has big shoes to fill.

Ducky was a phenomenal character
Ducky we are going to miss you Rest In Peace 🙏🏻🙏🏻😢😢💔✝️✝️🕊️🕯️
If you’d like to see David McCallum actually acting in something wonderful to watch… you should see The Great Escape.
That man was 90 and had a full head of hair. He looked amazing
I think it’s just amazing that a 90 year old was still acting. Rest In Peace David McCallum
Loved him. RIP🙏
Omg just heard wow such an amazing person and actor, can’t be leave he was 90 he looks 70
Thank you for everything, Ducky.
R.I.P. Ducky you will be and are missed
Rest in peace David and thank you for so many wonderful memories...
What an amazing life he led!! RIP David, Iilya and Ducky!!
RIP, old friend. You were my favorite Medical Examiner.
Recently watched this rerun episode, miss you Ducky/Mr McCallum RIP sir 😢😢😢. Thanks for sharing your talents with us all!
Rip David McCallum we will miss you.
I wonder how they are going to address Ducky’s death.
When I was in my late teens I saw David in that movie about the dambusters. I still remember that I laughed about that actor with his strange blonde haircut and that "stylish" moonface. I sorted out later that this actor was David McCallum.

😢 sorry to hear about the death he will be missed by a lot of people rip and I thank you for your time

Aside from the link to Disney's Donald, the moniker couldn't be more appropriate, as Ducky's surname is a particular species of duck.
May you be resting peacefully, for you, Ducky, showed us that those who are gone do speak to us, all we have to do is listen.
Hard to believe looking at him that this was filmed not long before David McCallum's 90th birthday (He died a week later) because he didn't look 90.
McGee is officially the last of the original cast!!!
The last person still in the show that was seen in the very first episode is actually Tobias Fornell (Joe Spano)
He was also in American Graffiti .
The messed up thing with Fornell is that he & Gibbs didn't know each other in the first episode, but later in the series it was established that Gibbs had warned Fornell about marrying Diane with whom he had a daughter who was an adult well before Gibbs left the series.
Rest In Peace David McCallum AKA Dr Donald Ducky Mallard
When I saw this scene when it aired, I noticed clearly that something was not right with David McCallum.
It was a surprise to hear of his death and it was saddening that I notice this in this clip as I though he had a stroke etc.
He does look very tired. He will be missed. 😢
I will miss Ducky's stories so much. Our thoughts are with you NCIS and Ducky's family and friends.
B look ess him you could see he wasnt Right, a True Professional , Career going back to the 50s , certainly the 60s, for Film & TV Programs Series.....one of his best two IMO The Great Escape , nick name " Dispersal" & The Mosquito Squadron .....RIP David
NOOOOOOOOOO! ANOTHER GONE IN 2023!
R.I.P. Ducky…
I’m crying😭 Love you, always Ducky❤️🩹

60+ years ago. I saw it too. Also, The Great Escape (gave up his life to try to help others get away), The Greatest Story Ever Told (he played Judas).
My father introduced me to him on "A Night to Remember" too. He later asked "why Harold Bride was now a UNCLE agent in a day show?" one day. I knew he was teasing me and almost ignored him, but watched it with him anyway. Glad I did abd got hooked on David, "MFU". He used the 2 actors-Wm.

Rest easy Time walker.
rest in peace
I'm just now finding out about this. I've loved that character since Day One and am gonna miss him.
Will miss Ducky forever 😢
Good bye ducky, you where 1 of the reason i watched ncis .god broke the mould when you was born. RIP xxx😢😢😢😢

Rest in peace Ducky.🙏😓😭🌹🙏
1:23 mark. You will see a photo of David's first wife, Jill Ireland...
I.believe that is his current wife. They’ve been married since he and Jill divorced. In the 60’s I think. No disrespect but I doubt it would be a picture of Jill.
He was great actor in ncis
Rest in peace David
Rest in peace ducky ❤️
Ducky you where the best
I miss Ducky
With his passing, Channel D is now closed, permanently. Unless Ms. Dancer wishes to open it?
R.I.P. David McCallum
Gotta say, one can c from this clip the actor did not look nor sound well.
Heyho such is life. RIP.
I miss this man

Ducky is the best actor for me 👀 ☺️
Rest in Peace David McCallum
You can tell he's not well in this clip
Amen 🙏 to him
Did the original broadcast have a memorial for him during the credits? I only say it on streaming.
the season was over months before his passing.
RIP😢
Miss you ducky
Dam miss him already
Ducky you will be missed😂😂😂😂
RIP MR MCCALLUM 🙏 😢
"A black sky event" are his last words on that show?
this is the last episode that went to air. Series 20, episode 22.
What episode was this?
The last episode of last season.
RIP ducky
Is it just me or does ducky sound weak and frail in this scene?
He was 90. We should all be lucky enough to reach that age. 💚🦆
😢
I agree with the other people David macclum on ncis was manord gentleman who cared about his coworkers
Is Palmer or McGee the longest serving character of the OG NCIS…??
That's McGee, he's introduced in 1x07 and Palmer's introduced in 1x21.
Actually it's Fornell
@@dennisgoans701 Ahhh, 1x01 🤣. It's would be cool if Fornell was added to the main character in someday.
Cant ask if the duck is in the pond again
I do wonder if the show will have the character of Ducky die too.
Probably,they did when Ralph Waite who acted Gibbs father Jackson died,his funeral is at the end of S11E24 Honor Thy Father.
he didn't sound good in that video
He had Parkinson's.
I can tell, my mom had also.
I stopped watching after Abby left, what happened to Ducky?
why did you record this at 10 fps?
stop complaining...copyright issues.
