RIP... Robert Culp
At his passing today, I want to express my heartfelt condolences to all of Mr. Culp's family and friends. Robert Culp was not only a personal hero of mine, and one that I've consciously (and unconsciously) patterned my life after - but he was a hero for all the world, during a time when America needed a true hero. Growing up in the 50's and the 60's, Mr. Culp was the epitome of 'cool'(I can think of no other actor, except perhaps Steve McQueen, who this could be said about.) Ironically, it was Robert Culp, who gave Steve McQueen his big break in show-biz, in the episode of Trackdown, with Steve portraying the bounty hunter Josh Randall - who would later go on to have his own TV show, and a place in Hollywood history. From what I understand of Robert Culp's career, this was not an isolated incident. With his earnest dedication to his craft, he made every production better - whether it be acting, producing, or directing, he was the consummate professional. Mr. Culp... you will be missed! Hollywood has lost a great, great talent.
