American TV actor Robert Culp, best known for playing a secret agent alongside Bill Cosby in the 1960s cloak-and-dagger hit "I Spy," died on Wednesday after a fall near his home. He was 79.
Culp, who also starred alongside Natalie Wood, Elliott Gould and Dyan Cannon in the 1969 film "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice," was pronounced dead at a Los Angeles hospital where he was rushed after falling during a morning walk, a police spokeswoman said.
"It appears that the individual (Culp) had fallen down and struck his head. It's still a preliminary investigation and we're still waiting on the official cause of death," she said, adding there was no indication of foul play.
Culp, who was born in Oakland, California, and attended university in Washington state and California, earned his first major television role in the late 1950s Western "Trackdown," playing a Texas Ranger.
But his most famous TV role was that of Kelly Robinson, a secret agent with a double life traveling the world as a top-seeded professional tennis player in "I Spy."

This is sad. Culp was great at chewing the scenery, and I have to admit I grew up watching I Spy... He'll be missed.
