Culp’s career began in the late 50s, as the star of a short-lived western called Trackdown. He is best remembered, however, for his starring role alongside Bill Cosby in I Spy, which ran for three seasons on NBC from 1965-1968. On the show, Culp played international tennis star, Kelly Robinson, who, along with having a great backhand, also happened to be a secret agent working for the Pentagon. Bill Cosby played his mentor and tennis trainer, Alexander Scott. The series is notable for casting the first African-American in the starring role of a television drama series.
