In a new conversation with the Hollywood Reporter, the producer added: \u201cAnd, of course, later on Robert Wagner would end up playing Michael Weatherly\u2019s father in the show, which was really ironic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last month, Weatherly was one of the show\u2019s stars to lead the tributes to David McCallum, who starred as Dr Donald ‘Ducky’ Mallard on the hit CBS show.<\/p>\n
David McCallum, NCIS and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. star died aged 90, sparking an outpouring of grief from his fans and co-stars from the CBS show.<\/p>\n
Actors Wilmer Valderrama and Michael Weatherly were among some of the well-known names paying tribute to the late \u201clegend\u201d on social media.<\/p>\n
The Anthony DiNozzo star shared a message with his 460,400 followers on Twitter, where he branded McCallum a \u201cfunny fantastic authentic man.\u201d<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> Sharing a video of an autographed and framed photo, Weatherly said: \u201cDavid McCallum made every moment count, in life and on set.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s raise a jug and celebrate a funny fantastic authentic man. I\u2019ve only got 3 autographs. Connery, Tony Bennett and McCallum.<\/p>\n \u201cI felt the same way as Steve McQueen in this picture from The Great Escape: Wow! It\u2019s David McCallum!<\/p>\n \u201cNo one did it better. We were lucky to have him bring us Ducky. Let\u2019s send all the love in the world to his beautiful family.
