Rest in Peace Robert.

I know Bill Cosby will be quite upset over this too. He and Robert stayed good friends after I Spy and I remember at least one ep where Bill had him on The Cosby Show as a father with a daughter in trouble with drugs. It was a good episode where Cliff and Claire ended up just thankful that their kids hadn't ended up on drugs and that it could happen to any type of family.

He was a good actor, great looking to the end and now I know a good animal lover. Just an all-round good guy. The world will miss him.

Bill Cosby has commented:

Bill Cosby: Robert Culp like an older brother

The Associated Press

(AP) — LOS ANGELES - Bill Cosby says the late Robert Culp was like an older brother to him.

Culp, who starred with Cosby in the racially groundbreaking TV series "I Spy," died today after collapsing outside his Hollywood home. He was 79.

Cosby says the first born in every family dreams of having an older brother or sister, "to protect, to be the buffer, provide the wisdom, shoulder the blows and make things right." He says Culp was the answer to his dreams.

Cosby says that no matter how many mistakes he made on the series, Culp was always there to teach and protect him.

Police say Culp apparently fell and struck his head. Culp's manager says the actor's son was told he died of a heart attack.

Robert Culp wasn't in that episode. The episode he was in was "Bald and Beautiful." Robert played an old friend who had had a heart attack and quadruple bypass. I liked him in Everybody Love Raymond. I always thought for an older man he was really handsome.

Robert Culp was like a froend to me also, like Peter Graves. Another 60s icon passes away. This time it was near 80 year old Robert Culp.
