RIP – ROBERT CULP
EXPIRED: 03/24/10 – Robert Culp, 79, was a hardworking actor that everyone seems to think only played a secret agent alongside a very young Bill Cosby in I-Spy – the first TV show that had a male lead of color (not Culp) of any merit.
But he was so much more than that.
Does anyone recall the racy movie about wife-swapping swingers that was really about 60’s over-the-hill-angst? Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice was a provocative hit in 1969, and a real risky role for Culp at the time.
