2 unusual facts about Alexander Waverly


Alexander Waverly

Mr. Waverly is the head of the U.N.C.L.E. organisation and was played by the veteran English actor Leo G. Carroll.

The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E

Leo G. Carroll had died long before the movie began production, so Patrick Macnee was recruited instead to appear as an entirely different character, Sir John Raleigh, who had, presumably, taken over as Number 1 of Section I, the Director of U.N.C.L.E., after Alexander Waverly had either retired or died, and Carroll's photograph was displayed prominently in many scenes that featured Macnee's Sir John.
