Robert Culp, the veteran actor best known for starring with Bill Cosby in the classic 1960s espionage-adventure series "I Spy" and for playing Bob in the 1969 movie "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice," died Wednesday morning. He was 79.

Culp fell and hit his head while taking a walk outside his Hollywood Hills home. He was found by a jogger who called 911 and was pronounced dead at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, said Lt. Bob Binder of the Los Angeles Police Department. An autopsy is pending.

Well, I have heard of him although I must admit I haven't watched a lot of the stuff he's been in. Still, my condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

'I Spy' was a great show. I believe that Culp was also responsible for giving Bill Cosby his big break. He was one of the very few black men to have a leading role in a very popular TV series.

He did a cameo on The Cobsy Show years ago. I am sorry for his family.
