Robert Martin Culp (August 16, 1930 – March 24, 2010)[1] was an American actor and scriptwriter, perhaps best known for his work in television. Culp earned an international reputation for his role as Kelly Robinson on I Spy (1965-1968), the espionage series, where he and co-star Bill Cosby played a pair of secret agents.

Thanks for posting that Jack!

Culp died on March 24, 2010 after a fall that took place outside his Los Angeles home.
Robert Culp was 79 years old at the time of his dealth.

Sorry to read of this. He could play comedic or dramatic very well.
Enjoyed him in 'Greatest American Hero'!

I guess his series "I Spy" was the one I enjoyed the most....serious one minute....something funny the next.
We've lost so many lately, not only Robert Culp, but Fess Parker too....I hadn't been in Canada that long when Davey Crockett hit the screen, I think it was on Sunday afternoons....it gave me something about American history when I was feeling somewhat down on leaving England for the new frontier myself.
I am reminded almost daily lately that time is, indeed, marching on in my life. One has to remember to keep smiling...keep going and keep sharp. Yes, 71 isn't old, except according to The Province, a story a week or so ago, referred to a 72-year-old as an old-age citizen. All I need is Michael Smyth on my back and I will feel old.

As another radio veteran once said, "Cheers customers".

Have either of you two clowns ever wondered what the PM button is for or maybe you even have MSN Messenger or maybe even e-mail?
Since when is a radio (or any other) message board the place to be passing little personal messages back and forth that have nothing
whatsoever to do with the board?

Christ almighty, whats next? One of you asking for a recipe for mashed potatoes or maybe some help with your crocheting?

[johnsykes]

So, the original thread was about the passing of Robert Culp.....not exactly a radio subject either. If you don't like digression once in a while, then you're going to really get fed up.

Hey Jack, you ever tried Black Eyed Peas?

[45 RPM]

John, I'm having a hard time visualizing you and Mrs Sykes going for a cruise in the family car with a Black Eyed Peas CD blasting away.

You're under the impression John wasn't refering to the vegetable, as mentioned in Bobbie Gentry's, Ode To Billie Joe.

[johnsykes]

You all may be quite surprised with my music collection......but this is not what the thread is about. I'm feeling guilty...better go to another thread eh?

John do you use instant potato mix in the box? Could you send one of your crochet needles?

Note to SlapPea - the board is for all the users not just you. Would Robert Culp mind? You should try starting a post so we can talk about our favourite subject - hockey.

Just clownin around, slappin the boards bangin the sticks and tearin off our jackets

I think I'll start a rumour about Slip Q..........maybe he's an alias for the B. Brothers.

John... you keep saying you're sorry and this thread is about something else, then fall into the 'Artist Formerly Known as TD's' musings. If you'd like some notes on how to do a successful thread diversion, I'd be happy to send you some.
