Robert Vaughn News

From playing Lee in the Magnificent Seven, a hired killer who at the end worked for a plate of beans and a place to rest his head, to the suave Napoleon Solo, a top UNCLE Agent.

"I'd be happy to do a cameo. I'd like to be the head of the organisation and sit in a great big room with a bunch of television sets and send men to their deaths!" Actor Robert Vaughn would love a role in the planned film adaptation of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. The 79 year old played iconic spy Napoleon Solo in the cult 1960s series.

She was considered the queen of spy novelists and her books were acclaimed for serving up all the tension and thrills of a Hitchock film.

Hands up: who else thought that Milton, Sylvia's cruise-ship love interest, was just a figment of her imagination? Well, we're all going to be proved wrong as he arrives in Weatherfield, played by Hustle and Man from UNCLE smoothie Robert Vaughn.

Hustle's silver-haired grifter-in-chief, Robert Vaughn, makes his ITV debut in tonight's Coronation Street playing Sylvia's cruise-ship beau, Milton.

And, surprisingly, the acting legend famous for The Man from U.N.C.L.E, The Magnificent Seven and, more recently, Hustle wasn't too expensive.
