Robert Culp one of the "I Spy" TV stars has died in Los Angeles. He was 79 years old.

That's the second TV spy to die in the last week. Peter Graves passed away on March 14th..

NBC News said he died after a fall this morning at his home. And he was only 79. He'll be missed.

This year so far is sucking..too many people are dying. [Frown]

My good friend's son died two weeks ago,, he was only 17 and took his own life.

Both Peter Graves and Robert Culp were great actors whose talents will be missed.

I loved Robert Culp in the Columbo episodes he played in. He was always memorable.

More recently, he lent his voice talent to the video game 'Half Life 2', playing Dr. Wallace Breen. He was amazing in that role too.

Tony,

I agree with you about the amount of people dying in 2010. It affected me personally starting with the death of my dear mother [Frown]

followed by my dear friend Faith who was only 58 when she died from Cancer about a week and a half later. Than my friend, Frank whom I had know at my mother's nursing home dies about two week later. followed by another friend, Peggy of Naples Florida passing away about the same time. To top that all, I get word that a person whom I had know since we went to Brooks Institute will need to have heart surgery. His wife told me it will be a unusual procedure filled with risks so I am praying for his recovery . I am also fearing the worst because both my mother's doctor and Peggy's told family members the patients was responding well to treatment and there was a good chance of full recovery. sadly, they both passed away a few days later

-Claude

I agree Michael, his "Columbo" stuff was great! I didn't like the "I Spy" series at all...I thought it was stupit. [Roll Eyes]

RIP Mr. Culp.
