Hi!
RE: COSBY
What a shame .... the entire beginning of the Letterman Show was all about spies and the new Bond movie, and his Top Ten List was even something about how to spot a bad spy movie.
Then in walks Cosby, who did a cute monologue on growing older ... but no mention was ever made AT ALL about Alexander Scott or "I SPY" when he sat down to talk with Dave .... what a missed opportunity!! Of course Cosby was there to promote his COSBY SHOW 25th Anniversary DVD compilation, but it would have been the perfect time to have mentioned or highlighted "Scotty."
RE: CULP
And the LA Times today had a long article in their HERO COMPLEX blog section on the GREATEST AMERICAN HERO's upcoming movie and the recent GAH cast reunions. The writer met with Stephen J. Cannell and William Katt at Cannell's office where they discussed TGAH along with some other of Cannell's hit series.
The article also covered the less than warm rapport between Katt and Culp during the series, though they eventually did arrive at a good working relationship.
"What also worked was that Katt, the theater upstart, and Culp, who had been a television actor since the 1950s, did not get along well on the set and the friction only heightened the abrasive banter between their characters, who were opposites in politics, disposition and generational sensibility. 'You couldn't put us in the same room without a verbal confrontation about how we were going to approach a certain aspect or scene or something and neither of us was going to back down.'
Did the pair ever soften toward each other? 'We did reach a sort of détente although we were never buddies we did find a good working relationship on set.' "
For the whole article, go to
