Biography:"Robert Culp" attended several West Coast colleges while training for a dramatic career. At 21, Culp made his Broadway debut in He Who Gets Slapped. Within six years, he was starring in his own TV Western, "Trackdown". During the two-year run of this program, Culp began writing scripts, a habit he'd carry over to other series, notably The Rifleman and "Gunsmoke". He made his first film in 1963, thereafter appearing sporadically on the big screen, most memorably as one of the four leads in the satirical "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice" (1968).
