Culp was the best part of an otherwise forgettable series called Greatest American Hero, too.

I loved his attitude.

They don’t make them like Culp today. He will be missed. I wonder how many younger people even know of I Spy?

My kids loved that show, and I thought it was good for kids, so we ended up watching and he saved it for me. Culp was a real character...RIP.

I never heard a bad thing about the man.

I enjoyed him in everything, including Greatest American Hero.

He played a great, no-nonsense law enforcement-type guy.

May he rest in peace and may his family and friends be comforted.

Is he really dead or did the “little green guys” take him away? We really could use him, Ralph and the suit in DC (District of Corruption) right now!
