I did wonder if 'floozie' was a euphemism for a lady who likes to be paid for her time.
And the poor man was apparently not immune to being objectified by his fans (the shower scene sounds very season three!).
I read the later paragraph as meaning that he used skills he already knew he had, having used them in real life, to play the seducer Napoleon Solo. Rather than that he went out specifically seducing women as practise for the part.
I didn't read his take on the show cancellation quite as callously as you did either (maybe I'm just in a mellow mood, our weather broke and I'm happy to be cool :0)), because the industry itself is pretty brutal about hiring and firing. And of course many of the technicians etc. would have worked for the studio, rather than the programme - the end of U.N.C.L.E. may simply have meant they moved to the next production. Sad to see the end of the show, but not necessarily the end of their paycheque.
And it was some decades after the event.
Plus actors and their egos...
Still, if you like Mr McC best, I'm happy to support you in your choice without any rebuttal at all! :0)
