Actor David McCallum is best known for his role as Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard on the long-running series NCIS. While his character experienced a health scare on the show, I’m curious if there have been any public reports about David McCallum’s own health throughout his career. Did he ever have to take a break from acting due to health reasons?
I’m sorry to inform you that David McCallum, the actor best known for his role as Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard on NCIS, has passed away at the age of 90 due to natural causes. There were no public reports suggesting he had to take a break from acting due to health reasons prior to his passing. In fact, articles from May 2023 indicate that he was in good health at that time. His character on NCIS did experience a health scare, but this was a fictional storyline and not reflective of McCallum’s actual health.
