RIP Mr. Culp.
I always thought he was a pretty cool guy. Crazy in a good way,
The man sure had a charismatic charm that he projected well. Besides the fine Kelly Robinson portrayal, he played a murderous Private eye in one of the best "Columbo" episodes from the early 70s. It's one of his finest performances. I also liked what he did in The Outer Limits "Demon with a Glass Hand" episode and in the movie "Houston, We've Got a Problem."
Farewell Friend...
Bill Maxwell eating dog biscuits on Greatest American Hero. Gotta love it.
Rest in peace.
Did a lot of good and interesting work, by most if not all accounts that have reached me was a generous and helpful guy, and France Nuyen married him. Should've had a happier end.
I suspect he'll be remembered.
Hard to believe that it's been more than a year since that other notable tv spy, interesting-film vet and COLUMBO villain Patrick MacGoohan also passed.
Though ISpy was a favorite, I also like him in Trackdown
In the TV Universe, his character of Trent, the "Demon With A Glass Hand" will live forever. In the real world, his work will keep him alive in memory.
Another one of my faves gone....
He had a very different way of delivering his lines - it came across as conversational to me, with odd pauses and "ums" and "ahs" tossed in. I liked him in I Spy and in other projects mentioned here, but I also liked him in the very gritty and downbeat Hickey And Boggs.
