My favorite show as a little boy. Robert Culp was classic. From one Oaklander to another, well done, sir. RIP

A class act. R.I.P. Bob.

Buddy movie action, semi-comedy? You have to go with Seth Rogen writing, maybe even playing Ralph. He could pull it off, only if he maintains the slimmer phsique of the Green hornet film. It might be a touch more his style, plus he would be the right age for it, and being awkward with the suit would be funny. I just couldnt see how he could work pot humor into it, but I guess he didn't really in GH anyway. Plus it's up his alley, being comic book-y and sci-fi (lightly). No Ideas on Bill.

It's so nice to see him in a relatively recent video (within the last 10 years) to see how he was. He was such a great character. Loved Bill Maxwell - it will be hard to fill his shoes, if they do go ahead with a feature film. He, William and Connie had such great chemistry together - one of the many things that made this show great.

@weikailou: I watched the montage. I was kind of disappointed there was only one brief clip of his Bill Maxwell character. But it was nice.

Robert Culp fans should make sure they view the montage of his Tv and movie roles on the Vimeo web site. It was created by Hughes Hall, and I understand that it was played at Mr. Culp's memorial service. He had a smile like no other.

@hstanford0909 .....same here ...i picked Tommy Lee Jones to play Maxwell....for Ralph i'd go with Ryan Phillipe.....Maxwell was my favorite character on the show and derserves to be played by a A list actor in tribute to Culp.

@galveston .....yes i agree no Owen Wilson as Ralph he already ruined David Soul's "Hutch" ....so please no more Wilson. getting the right look AND the right actor is extremely difficult when the roles were played so perfectly originally. ....for Maxwell the only guy that jumps to mind is Tommy Lee Jones ...who is pretty good at playing the "maxwell type" in MIB and U.S. Marshals but with maybe not as much subtle humor and sarcasm that Culp had in spades ..as for Ralph..Ryan Phillipe maybe.

@praguephotog ...i agree....he made that role his own.....maybe only Henry Winkler's "Fonz" would be a harder t.v. role for any actor to try to reprise.
