<p>Someone mentioned David McCallum in another thread, so I have to admit that I was a big fan of Ilya Kuryakin and ‘The Man From Uncle.’ Whom did you like and why?</p>

<p>LakeWashington, there is a paucity of women on your list.</p>
<p>Emma Peel, as played by Diana Rigg in The Avengers.</p>
<p>Miss Marple… Well, not a spy exactly, not on the surface anyway :)</p>
<p>I loved, loved George Smiley.</p>
<p>Ben Kingsley.

Cate Blanchett
[Charlotte</a> Gray (2001)](<a href=“http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0245046/]Charlotte”>Charlotte Gray (2001) - IMDb)</p>
<p>I liked the ‘Mission Impossible’ people -
<p>They had clever ways to infiltrate and subvert - true spies (for a TV show).</p>
<p>Hands down.
Austin Powers</p>
<p>Sam Neill as Sidney Reilley in “The Ace of Spies”</p>
<p>Ian Holm and Mel Martin in the BBC produced “Spy: Hook, Link, and Sinker” series by Len Deighton.</p>
<p>Alec Guiness as James Wormold in “Our Man in Havanna”
and Ian Richardson as real life art historian/spy Anthony Blunt in the film “Blunt” AND with Anthony Hopkins as Guy Burgess.</p>
<p>(I like my martinis shaken not stirred and my spys British)</p>
<p>One vote each for Boris and Natasha!</p>
<p>“Natasha! Hand me Bomb to blow up Moose and Sqwirrrr-el!” :)</p>
<p>First off Jedberg from the British series “The Edge of Darkness”
Second Boris and Natasha
I also loved the character played by Robert Redford in, I think the movie is called, “Spies Like Us” or maybe it is “Spy Game”, not sure. The one with Brad Pit.</p>
<p>Patrick McGoohan–aka "Number Six " in the British series “The Prisoner.”
I got the DVD set for my birthday…</p>
<p>I wanted to be Emma Peel when I was a kid.</p>
<p>That’s funny fallgirl, because most of my buddies WANTED Emma Peel when they were younger…</p>
<p>Bullet- I figured someone would say something like that :)</p>
<p>Most of the women on TV during my childhood were boring. I sure didn’t want to be June Cleaver or Carol Brady. Emma Peel got to wear great clothes, drive a sportscar and have cool adventures. Plus the guys liked her.</p>
<p>Maxwell Smart</p>
<p>Lee Merriweather (also on Mission Impossible)</p>
<p>Peter Graves</p>
<p>And I too loved Emma Peel</p>
<p>the Mission Impossible list is missing one important name:</p>
<p>Willy Armitage, muscle and misc. driving skills (!)</p>
<p>Don’t know if anyone mentioned this but we were watching an old NCIS a few weeks ago and Ziva asked Gibbs what Ducky looked like when he was young. With no hesitation Gibbs answered “Ilya Kuryakin” then they panned to a picture from the UNCLE days…I laughed out loud…it was great!</p>
<p>Here’s another vote for Mrs. Peel…:)</p>
<p>While they weren’t exactly spies, I LOVED Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers in, what was that called, the Harts? or something like that. Such a cool couple, so in love and always doing cool things!</p>
<p>Loved everyone on Mission Impossible,especially Lee Merriweather.</p>
<p>Agent 99 for her cool wardrobe.</p>
<p>Wasn’t there a Girl from UNCLE too?</p>
<p>No love for Matt Damon/Jason Bourne? </p>
<p>My personal favorite is Harry Palmer/Michael Caine in The Ipcress File and Funeral in Berlin (great mid 60’s spy stories filmed on location in London and Berlin respectively). Richard Burton/Alec Leamas in The Spy who came in from the Cold for sheer grimness and broken lives. </p>
<p>Re Girl from U.N.C.L.E.: Stephanie Powers teamed up with Noel Harrison (Rex Harrison’s son) in the spin-off.</p>
