Hitting the favorite TV planks in the hip, racially ground-breaking espionage plan I Spy (1965), he produced a slick (but hardly ever smarmy), sardonic name for himself during his over five-decade profession along with his sly laughter, informal banter and tongue-and-cheek sexiness. Though he previously the requisite appears and easy, manly charm (not forgetting acting skill) for superstardom, an awesome but cynical and relatively detached persona may possess avoided him from attaining it full-out. He was created Robert Martin Culp on August 16, 1930, in Oakland California.
