Date of Birth : Nov 22nd 1932

American actor noted for stage, film and television work. He is perhaps best known as suave spy Napoleon Solo in the 1960s TV series The Man from U.N.C.L.E.. Other famous roles include the villainous Ross Webster in Superman III, Lee in The Magnificent Seven and con artist Albert Stroller in the British drama Hustle. Vaughn made his television debut on the November 21, 1955 “Black Friday” episode of the American TV series Medic, the first of more than 200 episodic roles by mid-2000. His first movie appearance was as an uncredited extra in The Ten Commandments (1956), playing a golden calf idolater and also visible in a scene in a chariot behind that of Yul Brynner. Vaughn’s first credited movie role came the following year in the Western Hell’s Crossroads (1957), in which he played the real-life Bob Ford, the killer of outlaw Jesse James.

Vaughn’s first notable appearance was in The Young Philadelphians (1959) for which he was nominated for a Supporting Actor Academy Award. Next he appeared as gunman Lee in The Magnificent Seven (1960), a role he essentially reprised 20 years later in Battle Beyond the Stars (1980), both films being adaptations of filmmaker Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 Japanese samurai epic, Seven Samurai. Vaughn played a different role, Judge Oren Travis, on the 1998-2000 syndicated TV series The Magnificent Seven. Vaughn is the only surviving member of the title cast of the original 1960 film (although Eli Wallach, who portrayed the villain Calvera, is still living).
