Best Answer

A Russian spy on The Man from U.N.C.L.E., an American cult TV show from the 1960s. He was portrayed by David McCallum, who now plays Ducky on NCIS (another character on that show remarked that when Ducky was younger, he looked like Illya Kuryakin). He was the first Good-Guy Russian character on American primetime TV (and definitely not a defector: U.N.C.L.E. was a multinational organisation with agents from all over the world, including the Soviet Union).
