May you be happy today,
May you be happy today,
May you be happy David
May you be happy today.

Happy Birthday,
May you live to be a hundred...and a year for repentance!

David, you were one of the first actors who I remember wanting to watch on TV (Kidnapped/Invisible Man) and I've enjoyed many many hours of watching you since then. Happy birthday to you, and long may you continue.

I developed a huge crush on Illya in 1984, then rediscovered you thanks to Ellen's site and have since kept track of your work. I am too far away to see you on stage, but someday I will be there with Ellen, lurking at the back door with my camera. If you ever need a new headshot, I would be honored to shoot it! -Ann B

Happy Birthday to a great man. I can think of a lot of people that I have gotten to know who have lived to 70, 80 but let me tell you - your strength; aurora; love for people; is from a man who lives his age. Jack Benny used to kid around about being a certain age but I think you prove it. Happy Birthday David and may you have many many, lots, lots more.

Dear David,
Happy Birthday! Thank you for the wonderful variety of characters you've brought us over the years, from my vague memories of your early Playhouse and Wednesday Play appearances to the new NCIS (which I'm hoping will be on in England before too long). Have a lovely day.

Dear Mr. McCallum,

I hope you get whatever you wish for when you blow out the candles on the 19th! I can only wish for you what I wish every year- may you enjoy the good things in life for many more years, may no one ever find the portrait,and may your happiness reflect in some measure, the happiness your many talents have brought to the people who have seen your work !

With wishes for every good thing,

Jomil Mulvey

Dear. Mr. McCallum,

I wanted to send you a special and original birthday greeting but I have no inspiration, so I settled for this.

I want to thank you for all the years of pleasure you have given me and all the fans, through your wonderful acting. I want to thank you for having agreed to meet me when I saw you in "Amadeus" a few years ago. It was a wonderful and unforgettable moment for me.

I wish you a very very happy birthday, full of all good things and the love of your family.

Thank you for being you and for everything.

Anushka

so, happy birthday David!!!

A sincere fan, Lillian

Your fan always, Jatona P Walker

I regret I have not followed your career since those wild and crazy '60's but I did see a few things you did.

Anyway, have a happy and a healthy year and many more!

Isn't the Internet wonderful?

Two weeks ago I was watching a dvd a friend gave to me; I was looking for a scene where a patch of light hid behind a painting. It scared me witless when I was about nine years old. I found the scene, and I still found it quite scary. What I hadn't expected to find was a sf-series that would fascinate me so much that in the next two weeks I'd watch all 6 adventures...

Searching the internet for the man who made this unique performance, I started to feel sillier by the minute and with every UNCLE-website I came across. I seemed to belong to the tiny group of people who had never heard of Illya... Lucky me, I can still discover most of the work you've done.

From holland, a little bit too late, I still would like to wish you a very happy birthday and congratulate you on all your achievements.

With kind regards,
Anna
