R.I.P. Robert Culp
Bill Cosby is weep weep weeping into his Jello-O pudding tonight, because his I Spy co-star Robert Culp has flown off to heaven. Robert died suddenly this morning after he fell while taking a walk near his home in Hollywood, CA. Robert hit his head on the sidewalk and was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Robert was 79.
Robert's IMDB page is about ten miles long, but he was known for his work in I Spy, The Greatest American Hero, Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, and Everybody Loves Raymond. For all you nerdy ass gamers out there, Robert was the voice of Dr. Breen in Half-Life 2.
Since I'm gay for Golden Girls, I know Robert best as the gentlemen caller Blanche was afraid to spread all her southern comfort on, because she thought her pacemaker would explode. Clip below of Robert and Rue's magic moment:

Mr. Culp was excellent in The Pelican Brief. He will be missed.

When my brother was getting born, my dad was in the waiting room (this was the old days) watching "I Spy." A doctor passed by, saw Bill Cosby on TV, and said incredulously, "Is that man a Negro?" Yes, an integrated show was that unusual! In the full obit you can read Cosby's statement about how Culp was like the older brother he never had - quite moving.
Good way to go. RIP.

Sad. I always liked this guy. RIP
Corgis rule!!
--------------------
OMG...I know, right!? That was the first thing I noticed about the picture.
RIP, Robert Culp...especially if you loved Corgis. :)
=================================================
And the National Rifle Association says that, "Guns don't kill people, people do,” but I think the gun helps, you know?
He was a great actor...RIP!
But...pepaw shaved *at least* five (if not more) years off his age. No fucking way that man was only 79, espc in Hollywood land. Sorry, but I'm surrounded by really old people and there is a big difference. He looked closer to 90. Whatever.
Anway, there's this man we encounter sometimes when m husband and I are hiking on the local trails. He walks three of those little corgis and they all wear jackets in different colors. I always get a little freaked out when I see him coming up the trail. He looks like a total Chester. Eewww!

That sudden explosion when two tingles intermingle. --Mrs. Kravitz
That Golden Girls segment was hilarious! Blanche's exploding pacemaker! hahahaahahahahaha
He was married to one of the most beautiful women in the world, France Nuyen. RIP old guy.
I just saw him on a rerun of "ELR" last night.
So sad. May he rest in peace.

Read any of a dozen legit obituaries on Culp, and you will not see him addressed as only "Robert" once. Show some class, MK, stop using first names when addressing professional actors. Robert Culp is not Brit-Brit, or any number of skanks constantly obsessed with, in here. Seriously.

At first I thought your post was an exercise in satire, but now I am not sure. Either way, its way off the mark.
I mean is this your blog? Get off MichaelK's jock. I dont think Michael K has ever been disrespectful to the dead. His posts about those that passed always come from a sincere place. Go troll elsewhere on the internet (something you probably spend a lot of time doing).

LOVED him in The Greatest American Hero!!! RIP
Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself.
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
It should've been somebody else.
Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.
It's like a light of a new day-,
It came from out of the blue.
Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true-.
Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.
OMG OMG MAJOR SADS!!!!!
He was one of my first crushes on The Greatest American hero
and he was sooooo hot on I Spy
I iz devestated by this
waaaaaaaaaah

For Real! (Excuse me Mr. Culp for stepping on your post) But if I did ONE of the 35 things that girl has done I would be locked up like nobodys business. They really need to knock this "celebrity justice" shit off. Actually, let them buy their way out of their crime with all the money they have, then pass that along to a good cause. Win-win
Hey IG!!!! Sorry...I was actually looking up the Judge of Lindsay Lohan's case. Some lady named Marsha Revel. I think this woman should become bombarded with letters of protest of crap celebrity justice.
Sorry to talk about that in a thread about such a classy, handsome man.

He also played CC Babcock's dad on The Nanny. I loved that show...
He was in a couple of episodes of Columbo. Columbo and Robert Culp (as ego maniacal figures, of course)--what a combo! Also barely remember I, Spy. Sad.

I know, right? I soaked up any and everything spy related back in the 60's. I'd get in my dad's car and start pushing buttons and pretend I was on the run in my super cool spy car from enemy agents. I knew all the theme music from every show, I SPY, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., It takes a Thief and of course.......BOND, JAMES BOND.
Come to think of it, I got my ass beat up pretty regular back then. :)

On behalf of MK, MEA CULPA for Mr. CulpA.
Really though, why so cereal? Although me thinks there are more important things in the world to be griping about . . . I find it hilarious that you are most likely making comparisons between legitimate obits from "respectable" (HA!) newspapers (and the like) and/or other media outlets and a post on D-Listed. BHAHAHAHAHA!
------------------------------------------------
RIP Mr. Culp
He had Corgi's, how cute.
Kinda off topic but when I see corgis, I always think of Cowboy Bebop.

He kinda reminds me of Ron Jeremy, but...not as classy! - Submitted by david Letterman
Aw damn!
RIP Mr. Culp.

He played Debra's dad.
And what's with people getting pissy over MK just using "Robert"? I could see if he was calling him Bobby or something, but jeez people, get a fucking grip. MK is still a million times classier when it comes to obits than most bloggers out there.

Uh...since when did referring to celebrities by both names become a national law? It would seem that celebs really enjoy the "first name" status since that's usually an indication that the public enjoys their work and feel comfortable with them. Sure, formal two name systems are correct for obits, but for Dlisted? Girlfriend, please.

Since when does Michaek K adhere to AP style writing? Who cares if he calls him Robert. We are amongst friends and internet spammers here. No biggie.

I never realized that was him in Golden Girls. I only recognize him from Everybody Loves Raymond. Was he Debra or Amy's dad? I can never remember which one was Fred Willard and Robert Culp...not that I got them mixed up, haha.
I saw this on the news earlier and immediately thought, "Not Simon!". I always thought he was probably the hottest boyfriend Blanche ever had. RIP.
Robert Culp was a great actor. He was old-school cool.
