INTERVIEW WE HIT KIN SHRINER WITH SOME SERIOUSLY SILLY QUESTIONS December 11, 2020 3:15PM Who was your childhood idol?  “I idolized and worshipped THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. That was my favorite TV show, and the guy that played Illya Kuryakin, David McCallum, I would cut my hair to look like him. One day I saw him coming out of a movie theater in Westwood — it seems like yesterday! I saw him coming toward me and I just froze. But I noticed he was wearing penny loafers, and I immediately got a pair the next day.” You will find much more about UNCLE in Amazon.com -  http://goo.gl/OD1XKW Amazon Australia -  http://goo.gl/ODQYPY Amazon Brazil -  http://goo.gl/qYPYg6 Amazon Canada -  http://goo.gl/XrC6gc Amazon France-  http://goo.gl/IGxkLq Amazon Germany -  http://goo.gl/Wtz6WB Amazon India-  http://goo.gl/vtNMYo Amazon Italy -  http://goo.gl/gPOn6X Amazon Japan-  http://goo.gl/Cwqw1s Amazon Mexico -  http://goo.gl/xY6ANr Amazon Netherlands-  http://goo.gl/y1t4KO Amazon Spain -  http://goo.gl
