Since David McCallum's father, David McCallum Sr., was first violinist for the London Philharmonic Orchestra and his mother, Dorothy Dorman, was a cellist, it's not surprising that David was originally headed for a career in music, playing oboe. He studied briefly at the Royal Academy of Music. He left that, however, for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and joined Actor's Equity in 1946, his first acting work being for BBC Radio. He made nearly a dozen movies in the United Kingdom before his critically acclaimed work as Lt. Wyatt in Billy Budd (1962).
To the older generation, he is perhaps best known for his portrayal of U.N.C.L.E. agent Illya Kuryakin in the hit TV series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964). To younger audience, he is best known for his superlative portrayal of Dr. Donald "Duckie" Mallard on NCIS (2003).
McCallum was first married to actress Jill Ireland, whom he met while filming Hell Drivers (1957). In 1962 he introduced Ireland to Charles Bronson when both were filming The Great Escape (1963). She eventually left McCallum and married Bronson in 1968. McCallum and Ireland had three sons: Paul, Jason (an adopted son who died from an accidental drug overdose in 1989), and Val (short for Valentine).
He met fashion model Katherine Carpenter during a photo shoot for Glamour in 1965 and married her two years later. The couple had a son, Peter, and a daughter, Sophie. They were together for 58 years and were active with charitable organizations that support the The United States Marine Corps: Katherine's father was a Marine who served in the Battle of Iwo Jima, and her brother lost his life in the Vietnam War. McCallum had eight grandchildren.

- Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, David L. McCallum grew up being mistaken for one of TV's "Men from U.N.C.L.E." - a Scotland-born actor with the same first and last name - which is why he uses his middle initial. Though a mischievous mimic in his youth, he did not catch the acting bug until his late 20's, studying and later performing in plays at the Ottawa Little Theatre, and taking numerous acting workshops in Toronto, Kingston, and Ottawa. He also developed improvisational skills through roles in murder mystery dinner theatre. In the mid-eighties, Dave began his on-screen career with a supporting role in a low-budget film entitled REBEL HIGH, filmed in Montreal, and made a guest appearance on the television series DENIM BLUES, an Ottawa production for the CTV television network. Seven years of voice lessons yielded a major reward in 1998: the lead role of "The Judge" in Gilbert and Sullivan's TRIAL BY JURY, a musical theatre production for Ottawa's Savoy Society. Later that year came a recurring lead role in The Comedy Network's BUTCH PATTERSON: PRIVATE DICK, playing crime boss Tommy Rubella - a role he reprised for the second series of BUTCH, recently filmed in Ottawa. He also played a supporting role in the feature film UNDERCOVER ANGEL, starring Jazmine Bleeth. In the past year, David has played leading roles in two television commercials, five corporate training videos, and has provided over 20 character voices for KEVIN SPENCER (another Comedy Network series), and for three CD-ROM games. David Is currently voicing 10 characters for the North American version of BUDGIE, THE LITTLE HELICOPTER, based on the children's books by Sarah Ferguson. David is currently based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
