Leo G. Carroll was one of the most dependable and popular character actors of the 20th century. As this short "fact file" video indicates, he had a very interesting life and career. He was wounded in WWI and was also an accomplished director of stage productions. He was one of Alfred Hitchcock's favorite actors, appearing in six of the Master's films. He found an unexpected late-career surge in popularity with younger audiences with his immortal portrayal of spy boss Alexander Waverly on both "The Man from U.N.C.L.E" and "The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.". Both Robert Vaughn and David McCallum admitted to being in awe of working with him and both agreed he was the real Man from U.N.C.L.E.
