Summary

David McCallum, best known for his role as Ducky on NCIS, has passed away at the age of 90 from natural causes. McCallum was a talented actor, author, and scholar, known for his passion for science and culture. He was beloved by fans and colleagues alike and will be remembered as a legend and deeply missed.

Nearly six years after he left the long-running crime procedural, NCIS’ Ducky actor David McCallum has died at the age of 90. McCallum was one of the primary cast for the first 15 seasons of the CBS drama, portraying the agency’s eccentric chief medical examiner Dr. Donald Mallard, affectionately nicknamed Ducky based on his last name. In addition to providing insight for the victims of their cases, Ducky was often a point of emotional and moral comfort for Jethro Gibbs and his team.

TheWrap has brought the sad news that McCallum has died at the age of 90. The Ducky actor was said to have “passed away peacefully” from natural causes surrounded by his family in New York, with his son Peter offering a statement calling him “the kindest, coolest, most patient and loving father” and remembering his passion for science and culture. See Peter McCallum’s statement below, along with statements from CBS and executive producers Steven D. Binder & David North:

Peter McCallum: 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.

CBS: 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. 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.

Steven D. Binder & David North: For over 20 years, David McCallum endeared himself to audiences around the world playing the wise, quirky, and sometimes enigmatic, Dr. Donald ‘Ducky’ Mallard. But as much as his fans may have loved him, those who worked side by side with David loved him that much more. He was a scholar and a gentleman, always gracious, a consummate professional, and never one to pass up a joke. From day one, it was an honor to work with him and he never let us down. He was, quite simply, a legend. He was also family and will be deeply missed.
