Robert Francis Vaughn (born November 22, 1932) is an American actor noted for his stage, film and television work. His best-known TV roles include suave spy Napoleon Solo in the 1960s series The Man from U.N.C.L.E.; wealthy detective Harry Rule in the 1970s series The Protectors; and formidable General Hunt Stockwell in the 5th season of the 1980s series The A-Team. In film, he portrayed quiet, skittish gunman Lee in The Magnificent Seven, Major Paul Krueger in The Bridge at Remagen, the voice of Proteus IV, the computer villain of Demon Seed, Walter Chalmers in Bullitt, Ross Webster in Superman III, and war veteran Chester A. Gwynn in The Young Philadelphians which earned him a 1960 Academy Award nomination for Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
As grifter and card shark Albert Stroller, Vaughn appeared in all but one of the 48 episodes of the British television drama series Hustle (2004–2012). From January to February 2012, he appeared in the long-running British soap opera Coronation Street as Milton Fanshaw, a love interest for Sylvia Goodwin, played by veteran English actress Stephanie Cole.
"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either passively, openly or via sabotage.
As a phrase meaning "the boss" it dates from at least 1918.
In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
The use of this term was expanded to counterculture groups and their battles against authority, such as the Yippies, which, according to a May 19, 1969 article in U.S. News and World Report, had the "avowed aim ... to destroy 'The Man', their term for the present system of government". The term eventually found its way into humorous usage, such as in a December 1979 motorcycle ad from the magazine Easyriders which featured the tagline, "California residents: Add 6% sales tax for The Man."

Through West's longest career, his acting career began in films in 1959, among the Westerns that he appeared in, playing opposite Chuck Connors in Geronimo (1962) and Joe DeRita in The Outlaws Is Coming (1965).

Happy 50th Anniversary tribute to the wonderful television series: The Man From Uncle. This short video clip is posted here at Television Vanguard for not-for-profit fan tribute, viewer enjoyment only. No copyright infringement is intended. Thank you and enjoy. The Man From UNCLE pilot episode, 'The Vulcan Affair', filmed in late November into mid December 1963, was first broadcast in black-and-white (as was the entire first season) on NBC on September 22, 1964. The famous steam-pipe room scene is most remembered in this pilot, and can be seen here on YouTube on other channels. However, this clip is my personal favorite - Napoleon Solo [Robert Vaughn] and housewife-turned-spy Elaine May Donaldson [the wonderful Patricia Crowley] parting ways after a daring and successful mission. ...

Danger Theatre is an American half-hour comedy anthology series for television, produced by Universal Studios and originally aired on the American Fox network in 1993. With two exceptions, each half-hour-long show consisted of two comedy segments, each a spoof of a familiar action/anthology format. The style of the comedy was somewhat similar to that of films like Airplane! and TV shows like Police Squad! Robert Vaughn was the host for each episode, introducing to camera each fifteen-minute segment with mock earnestness. The jokes ranged from humorous or preposterous dialogue to visual gags and slapstick designed to poke fun at the serious dramatic formats being lampooned. Danger Theatre ran for seven episodes before cancellation, but was syndicated beyond the United States, airing in the ...

A few rare clips of Robert Vaughn talking about UNCLE then local TV commercials he did for Jacoby & Meyers and another law firm. He went from being The Man from UNCLE to The Man from Ridgefield (in Conn., not far from where I live). The last bit is part of a promo for MFU with brief glimpse of guest star William Shatner. This is part of a series I'm posting on 1960s ads, TV shows, and network promos.

The Old Spy's Reunion - Vaughn & McCallum (AUDIO) This is the audio version of the interview that Robert Vaughn and David McCallum gave for The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Complete Series DVD set. Also just for fun I decided to put a compilation of U.N.C.L.E. music behind it.
A young woman goes to teach at the Ravenscroft Institute, a spooky old girls' school overrun by ants and staffed by various ex-mental patients. Spurred on by a series of horrific hallucinations, she begins to investigate the mysterious disappearances of several students.
Overdub sessions for Love & War at Circle Sound, San Diego. Robert was always with a video camera, sometimes not always appreciated by others when working! Here we are with Mike Harris, T.J. Tindall, RV, John Nau, the late Steve Kocherhans and Anthony Daluz; and we hear Palace of Tears and Love Came Falling. Also interesting to note is "These Are The Days" is mentioned as part of the album lineup, which eventually was dropped. At the 18 minute mark is a classic rant by Robert on the session's failings.
