Also agree. He was the epitome of class and cool. He even had a certain charm when he played a bad guy. H was an outlaw in a Bonanza episode.

I'll remember him as 'Jim Darling' , one of Laura Petrie's old boyfriends on The Dick van Dyke Show. He played a successful rich businessman who was a new sponsor for Rob's show. Rob totally lost his composure in a fit of jealousy over Laura's rich, handsome ex. Very funny episode.

Imagine how much of Hollywood this man have seen from the 1950 up into the 2000s. A true Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood.

I highly recommend his autobiography A Fortunate Life.

I met him on the set of "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." at MGM in 1966. Watched him and David McCallum filming a scene for awhile, then spent about fifteen minutes in his dressing room talking to him. He was a bit reserved, but polite. Also sat with McCallum next to the set and talked. He was nice, too, and more outgoing. Considering the characters they played on the show, you'd have thought their personalities would be the other way around. Ate lunch in the MGM commissary and saw Leo G. Carroll (Mr. Waverly) at a nearby table, but didn't get a chance to talk to him.
