Vaughn was in his early thirties as Solo. It is perhaps implied that Solo joined UNCLE as some sort of Special Forces veteran of the Korean conflict. Everyone knows Clooney is too old by almost 20 years. He would be a WWII or pre-WWII veteran in the 1960’s. I’d prefer to see Ian Somerhalder as Solo, and he’s 32 or so. Solo was NOT nearly eligible for AARP, as Clooney is.

Well said Purist,
Excellent points.

Thank you, sir.
I grew up with UNCLE
as a huge part of my imagination,
and now,
considerably older,
of course,
the first season is the epitome
of the UNCLE concept.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar,
as a story can be just a story.
It can be something larger,
however,
verging on the mythic.
Somehow, UNCLE, like Buffy,
goes beyond mere fun story telling.
It was the writing,
and no less Vaughn and McCallum specifically,
that achieved this.

Thank You for
the great comments
Purist Crank –
I was going to
write almost the same thing-
I grew up watching
The Man From UNCLE.
I had the pistol that
converted to a rifle,
the fake walkie talkie pen,
the ID card.
I never missed UNCLE,
or WILD WILD WEST,
so many other shows
that shaped my
life in a good way.
Those shows were
my role models in
a real world where
right and wrong
were confusing
grey areas in my
life due to mental
issues and some
other bad stuff
for kids.
Those characters taught
me that it is OK to be good
all of the time and not
go along with the crowd.
That it is a duty
to fight evil and
injustice,
forget the odds.
Those characters
taught me the
values I still carry.
Thank God
for our Heros
and Heroines
for they teach
us not how to do
it perhaps but that
it can be done.
Long Live UNCLE!
Long live our
mythic heros-
for they can
never die.
Thank You for
the great comments.

P.S.
I created Rash Manly
to be brave and strong
and to say things that
need to be said.
I thought I created him,
but he re-created me.

(I still have the Solo gun by Ideal,
somewhat worse for the passage of years.
Never had the Marx Counterspy Outfit, though.
Tried several different ways to adequately mimic the modified P38.)

How cool is that!
Alas I lost my
UNCLE ID Card
and gun but never
the ideals of
Fighting Evil.
UNCLE ROCKS!

Clooney’s my favorite leading man.
Awesome choice! Afterwards,
he needs to be cast as Green Hornet in a
(rebooted) serious crime drama version a la “The Dark Knight”. 🙂

Interesting. A fan trailer on YouTube proposes Matt Damon as Solo and Daniel Craig as Kuryakin.
