    David McCallum, longtime star of the hit network television show “NCIS,” was pronounced dead at 90 years old. McCallum, who graced the televisions of millions of Americans throughout his acting career, will be missed by many. People in the acting community and those who were simply fans of his work took time to mourn the great loss.

    McCallum died with family alongside him, and he passed from natural causes after a long and fruitful life. He took his last breath at the New York Presbyterian Hospital.

    CBS mourned the loss of its star actor with an article in which the company released a statement. CBS said, “David was a gifted actor and author, and beloved by many around the world. He led an incredible life, and his legacy will forever live on through his family and the countless hours on film and television that will never go away.”

    Peter McCallum, David’s son form his second marriage, had this to say about his father’s passing. “He was a true Renaissance man — 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.”

    McCallum never regretted the time that he spent hustling and working hard to make a name for himself in the acting industry. In 2007, he said, “I’ve always felt the harder I work, the luckier I get. I believe in serendipitous things happening, but at the same time, dedicating yourself to what you do is the best way to get along in this life.”

    NCIS took to X to speak about the passing of the long-term star of the show, saying, “We are deeply saddened by the passing of David McCallum and privileged that CBS was his home for so many years. David was a gifted actor and author, and beloved by many around the world. He led an incredible life, and his legacy will forever live on through his family and the countless hours on film and television that will never go away.” 

    The statement continued, “We will miss his warmth and endearing sense of humor that lit up any room or soundstage he stepped onto, as well as the brilliant stories he often shared from a life well-lived. Our hearts go out to his wife Katherine and his entire family, and all those who knew and loved David.”
