Robert Vaughn, star of the 1960s TV show The Man From U.N.C.L.E. has passed away at the age of 83. Vaughn died on Friday following a brief battle with acute leukaemia.

“Mr. Vaughn passed away with him family around him,” his manager Matthew Sullivan said to trade blog Deadline.

Vaughn appeared in many productions over the years, and was known more recently to UK audiences in the hit BBC TV series Hustle. He even had a recent role in long-running soap Coronation Street in 2012.

Vaughn, born in New York City in 1932, came to the public’s attention first with his Oscar-nominated role in The Young Philadelphians in 1959. From there he went in to star as a gunman in The Magnificent Seven (1960), and then in 1964 as Napoleon Solo in the original The Man From U.N.C.L.E., which made him a household name.

The actor is survived by wife Linda, son Cassidy and daughter Caitlin.
