In terms of his acting roles, it's a toss up whether he is more famous for ''Series/TheManFromUNCLE'' or ''Film/TheMagnificentSeven'', but with the latter he has certainly kept up a long term recurring association. In 1960, he played Lee (a professional gunslinger whose reputation has almost caught up with him) in the [[Film/TheMagnificentSeven original Western film version]] (yes, it is a remake of a [[Film/SevenSamurai Japanese Samurai film]]). Then he played ''essentially the same character'' again, but with a different name in the 80s version of ''Film/TheMagnificentSeven InSPACE'' aka ''Film/BattleBeyondTheStars''. Not content with that, when Creator/{{CBS}} made a [[Series/TheMagnificentSeven TV series based on the Magnificent Seven film]] in the 90s, Robert Vaughn was again on board but this time playing a different character, CircuitJudge and CoolOldGuy Orrin Travis. Did he stop there? Well, no. Aside from a small but amusing ShoutOut in the final of episode of the BritishSeries ''Series/{{Hustle}}'', in 2013, Mr Vaughn again had a role in ''yet another'' version centered around a British amateur soccer team and Tandoori restaurant called ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1027873/ The Magnificent Eleven]]'' (No, I'm not kidding!).

His other very fondly remembered role (also with recurring references in his career, but less often) is that of [[TheCasanova Napoleon]] [[BadassInANiceSuit Solo]] in ''Series/TheManFromUNCLE''. There was a ReunionShow in the 80's where he reprised the role and when he later had a regular recurring role in the final season of ''Series/TheATeam'', his [[StuntCasting U.N.C.L.E co-star]] Creator/DavidMcCallum guest starred in an episode titled "The Say U.N.C.L.E. Affair" in direct reference to the episode titles of ''Series/TheManFromUNCLE'' series. Another somewhat similar role that he played in the early 70s was Harry Rule, lead agent for another international crime-fighting group in ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068122/ The Protectors]]''.
