You know David McCallum is still on TV. NCIS at 7:00 CST tonight--CBS

Forensic Pathologist "Ducky"--he's a little older now.

Yup, I watch it every week. How can you go wrong with 3 good looking men in the cast?!

Hate to get all pedantic on you, but Victor Frankenstein (in the book at least) is not a doctor, and he's barely a scientist -- he's more of an alchemst. Not a mad scientist at all, more a caricature of a Romantic Hero -- overly sensitive, prone to hysterics, not mad or obsessed with science at all.

Now, Henry Frankenstein (played by Colin Clive in the Universal horror films) does fit the mold of the mad scientist a bit better.

The Dr. Victor Frankenstein in the Hammer films (played by Peter Cushing) is also an arguable candidate for being a mad scientist, although his madness seems to consist mostly of a blindness to the horror he creates while in pursuit of his ideal.

Someone who brings back dead body parts is a scientist, and he was pretty mad, afterall he did collect dead body parts, no one in their right minds would do that.

Just my opinion.
