R.I.P.: Robert Culp, actor in TV, movies, audiobooks
Robert Culp, who teamed with Bill Cosby in the TV series "I Spy" and later starred (as Bob) in the movie "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice," died Wednesday after collapsing outside his Hollywood home, the AP reported. He was 79.
He'll be best remembered for the ground-breaking TV series, the first integrated show to feature a black lead actor. You may also recall some of his movie roles, including playing the U.S. president in the adaptation of John Grisham's "The Pelican Brief."
But you may not realize that he also had a career as an audiobook narrator. Here's an interview with Paul Kyriazi, who directed Culp as part of the cast for "Rock Star Rising." Sounds like he was a true pro in whatever he did.
R.I.P. Robert.

Ironically, I was just viewing newly purchased CD's of I Spy, Season 1 when I learned of Robert Culp's death. Do not understand why his talents were not better appreciated in Hollywood. And FIVE WIVES! OUCH! May he rest in peace.
