Robert Culp, the actor who co-starred alongside Bill Cosby in the popular 1960s TV series "I Spy," died Wednesday after falling on a sidewalk near a Los Angeles park, according to his publicist Dick Delson. Culp was 79.
After the unprecedented NBC series--which was the first to feature an African-American in a lead role--ran from 1965 to 1968, Culp appeared in numerous television guest spots, most notably as Ray Romano's father-in-law on the hit sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond."
According to Los Angeles police reports, Culp fell down close to the entrance of Runyon Canyon Park, a well-known hiking area in Hollywood.
He was pronounced dead a half hour later at a hospital. Coroners are investigating whether the fall was the cause of his death, reports stated.
