ACTOR Robert Culp, who starred in the groundbreaking 1960s television series “I Spy” with Bill Cosby, died Wednesday morning after a fall near his home in LA, officials said.
A jogger yesterday morning found the 79-year-old actor unconscious on the street outside his Hollywood home, where it appeared he been taking a walk.
He was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later. An autopsy was set to be performed tomorrow.
Culp became famous for sharing top billing in the 1965-68 series “I Spy,” with Cosby, the first African American actor to star in a TV drama.
One of his last roles was as Ray Romano’s rakish, divorced father-in-law on “Everybody Loves Raymond.”
