> [@carrps](#): > > _I saw Robert Vaugh a few months ago in The Young Philadelphians which was a showcase for the rising star Paul Newman, but Vaughn stole the movie. And, man, does he have a big filmography._ As recently as 10 years ago he was doing TV commercials for a local law firm, a gig he did for law firms around the country. He was quite good at it. Very effective. I thought it was rather odd that The Man from U.N.C.L.E. was doing commercials for ambulance chasers, but a gig is a gig and I’m sure he made a nice living at it. ---

I loved the NCIS series, right up to the point when Valderama joined. Then I fell off. But Ducky was one of my favorite characters. Did he EVER get t finish a story? ---

I was another 12 year old who had a massive crush on Illya when the series first aired. Along with most of my class! ---

I’m pretty sure it formed one poster that had both Solo and Kuryakin. A portrait, not an action shot. And I’m thinking the poster was black-and-white, but I could easily be wrong about that. ---
