Robert Culp, the veteran actor best known for starring with Bill Cosby in the classic 1960s espionage-adventure series "I Spy" and for playing Bob in the 1969 movie "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice," died Wednesday morning. He was 79.

Culp fell and hit his head while taking a walk outside his Hollywood Hills home. He was found by a jogger who called 911 and was pronounced dead at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, said Lt. Bob Binder of the Los Angeles Police Department. An autopsy is pending.

...each afternoon on RTV. I like seeing the older vehicles again traveling on the roads and they did have interesting scenery on the show in all the locations they filmed it. Not to take anything away from Culp or Cosby, a lot of the show's attraction was the areas of filming. Culp also played the father of Ramon's wife on "Everyone Loves Raymond". That wasn't so many years back and he still looked in good health.
