Robert Vaughn, the man from UNCLE, chief villain in Superman III<\/em>, and the last living member of The Magnificent Seven<\/em>, has passed away.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Robert Vaughn’s first film role was as an uncredited extra in DeMille’s The Ten Commandments<\/em>, before taking the part of Robert Ford (killer of Jesse James), in Hell’s Crossroads<\/em>. Following a short stint in the military as a drill sergeant, Vaughn courted award season glory with an applauded role in The Young Philadelphians<\/em>, which saw him snag Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, before appearing alongside Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach and Steve McQueen in The Magnificent Seven<\/em> (1960).<\/p>\n Vaughn’s most prominent pop-culture role was as Napoleon Solo, one half of a procedural double-act (alongside current NCIS<\/em> star David McCallum) in the five-year run of The Man From UNCLE<\/em>, a role he’d reprise a decade later in a television sequel special.<\/p>\n Post-UNCLE<\/em>, Mr Vaughn’s career remained rooted largely in television and B-movie productions, although a notable big screen role in Superman III<\/em>, as the villainous businessman Ross Webster, came along in 1983. Guest roles in long-running crime show Law & Order<\/em> saw Mr Vaughn’s popularity rise again, with a lead role in the 2005 BBC series Hustle.<\/em><\/p>\n Among those already mentioned, Robert Vaughn’s big-screen credits include roles in Bullitt<\/em> (opposite his Magnificent Seven<\/em> co-star Steve McQueen), The Towering Inferno<\/em> (1974, again alongside McQueen), 1980’s sci-fi classic Battle Beyond The Stars<\/em>, the Chuck Norris classic The Delta Force<\/em> (1986), Joe’s Apartment<\/em> (1996), and in BASEketball<\/em>, in 1998.<\/p>\n Robert Vaughn passed away on November 11.
