I got to meet Mr. Culp about 25 years ago. He was warm and witty. All these gentlemen in heaven together. Rest in Joy, sirs. Thanks for the great entertainment! 🙏📿🙋💕
Wow, i would have loved to meet Robert Culp. I bet that he had a great dry sense of humor. He seems like a very strong and official like man. Seems very formal. Was he like that or surprisingly down home? Was he kind and humble?
In heaven -- along with their Hungarian voice actors. Gyula Szabó (Columbo's voice), Gyula Szersén (Culp's voice as Hanlon) and Ottó Szokolay (Culp's voice as Rowe) died. However, Károly Mécs (Culp's voice as Brimmer) is also 88...
I like to think hes the same guy in every episode, he just keeps getting caught and sent to jail. then he escapes, changes his identity, and gets a haircut.
You my friend have earned yourself a star 💫 Brilliantly thought of and you took it to a whole other level, it adds more depth to both Characters being portrayed as such. Magi Poet
@@edbrown8254 I edge Jack Cassidy as the mendacious Moriarty. Since Culp is involved in blackmail twice, I'd nominate him as the Charles Augustus Milverton to Columbo's Sherlock.
They've all gone Falk, Culp, McGoohan, Pleasence, Cassidy, Vaughn. The word legend died with them we wont see the likes of that, we didnt realise how lucky we were to have top notch acting back then, and the music.
Still my favorite of all the killers, with Dr. Keppel my favorite of all. The cat and mouse between Culp and Falk is fantastic. Also, Culp got to play the one and only original series killer to commit an accidental murder. He’s the only one that didn’t compound it by silencing a second person in Death Lends a Hand.
Double Exposure - My all time favourite Columbo episode, clever writing, great characters, outstanding acting. I've seen this episode many times and never get tired of it.
Robert Culp was so good in each episode that I felt kind of sad when Columbo got the better of him, as good as TV that was ever made in my opinion, just wonderful.
One of the few to had worked with Mirna Loy (Nora Charles in the 6 William Powell Thin Man movies) - a legend from a totally distant time of Hollywood that live long enough to work with another, in an other era of Hollywood, both now gone. Not many could claim they worked with Great Ladies of the Golden Era that could tell the tales of that time period by the time Peter Falk was playing Columbo.
The music in the first run of the series was terrific... how the "cuckoo clock" notes kick-in when Culp/the villain realizes Columbo has the key piece of evidence and that the jig is up. Just a masterful touch, IMO.
Also my favorite Columbo bad guy. Sometimes I wished he would get away with it and Columbo would always have one that he couldn't completely solve, Culp could have been the Moriarty to Falk's Holmes so to speak and could be a recurring character. In any case, I love Culp's expressions when Columbo finally nails him. A perfect combination of anger, shock, defeat and resignation. You can see it all in his face. Perfect.
avantgardeaclue. In Murder by the Book, Columbo is only able to get Jack Cassidy for one murder instead of two. I bet it really stuck in Columbo’s caw that he didn’t have enough evidence to get him for both murders!
@@anthonymcivor7511 He made a call from a phone booth near the murder scene - which of course, didn't have the clock. He claimed he was in the stadium booth (with the clock) when he made the call. The recording of the call he made didn't have the clock chime... when it should've, if he really were in the booth. (More-or-less "proving" he wasn't in the stadium booth as he claimed.)
Robert Culp was a very underrated actor. He was the best part of Greatest American Hero, also check him out in Hannie Caulder, and Bob, Ted,Carol and Alice
Robert Culp was in my favorite Columbo episodes, the Crooked PI one, Most Crucial Game (Ding a Ling Ice Cream Truck) and Double Exposure. Very good writing.
Darn. Now I'm interested in a later Columbo episode. The one where Culp's son is listening in. Never knew great actors were in the 90s episodes. Thanks for the upload,!
I was a big fan of Columbo as a kid and ‘Double Exposure’ was one of my favorites. Today I have a caliber converter for one of my rifles and occasionally think about that episode.
I liked Robert Culp from the beginning with the Kelly Robinson character from I Spy and guest appearances on bonanza and other appearances and films, he had a style all his own which pretty much read intelligence suave no nonsense charismatic tough and fit a more down to earth or watered down version of a famous spy/ agent), but his style was cool and calm all the way to the end as displayed by some of the characters he played in Columbo but overall a very good actor. R.I.P
Santino Williams. I only discovered him fairly recently in the classic show, “Trackdown,” where he plays a Texas Ranger. It’s a pretty decent show! I don’t know why it only lasted a couple of seasons!
@@pattierichards7391 "Collumbo Goes To Colleg". A great actor.. Trackdown, I Spy, Greatest American Hero (not his best series), and a slew of guest appearances.
I never realized how many characters he played. I figured out that he was the private eye and the subliminal message guy, but I never noticed he was all the others. He completely transformed his appearance.
Faulk played with Spencer Tracy. In his final acting roll ( it's a mad/mad world. ) as the cab driver. Very comical movie 🎥 with a superb class of comedian actors. ( 1963 )
Culp with his subliminal teaching and converter with the gun was his best! I liked the football episode too with Dean Stockwell from Quantum Leap! I do not recall the ring episode so I should watch that one again! It will come back to me in the 1st 5-10 minutes!
I laughed so hard in the subliminal cut episode when Columbo caught Culp pulling the caliber converter out of the lamp. Culp's dumbfounded look wondering how he got caught had me in stitches.
Death Lends a Hand (1971) The Most Crucial Game (1972) Double Exposure (1973) Columbo Goes to College (1990) (plays the father of one of the murderes )
Wish we have a time machine-the 70s-COLUMBO is just great-they have the best writer- and lots of good actors,R-I-P to Peter Falk -Robert Culp THANK YOU
Robert Culp is a perfect detestable killer! Columbo is very enjoyable and I’m always rooting for him. In some of the episodes the killer just gives up but in other ones he has to nail them down. Culp likes to talk down to Columbo but he doesn’t know who he is talking to! Columbo gets the last laugh but he never takes it; he’s too humble and smart!
Double Exposure, the episode with the subliminal cuts, was written by the late, great Stephen J. Cannell! He created and wrote some of the most entertaining TV shows of the 1970s & 1980s like The Rockford Files, The Greatest American Hero & The A-Team just to name a few.
Well you can use adaptors like that for some guns, but I believe the main problem here is that 22 lr is a rimfire cartridge, whereas 45 acp is centerfire.
I think it's odd that in all these "Best of" guest star videos, it's always Peter Falk who makes all of these scenes the best. What charisma he had when he played this man Columbo.
Columbo: “Just one more thing…some people were calling you a collaborator” Culp:“…as if such a term were shameful. I ask you, what greater endeavor exists than that of collaboration? In our current unparalleled enterprise, refusal to collaborate is simply a refusal to grow--an insistence on suicide, if you will. Did the lungfish refuse to breathe air? It did not. It crept forth boldly while its brethren remained in the blackest ocean abyss, with lidless eyes forever staring at the dark, ignorant and doomed despite their eternal vigilance. Would we model ourselves on the trilobite? Are all the accomplishments of humanity fated to be nothing more than a layer of broken plastic shards thinly strewn across a fossil bed, sandwiched between the Burgess shale and an eon's worth of mud?

That guy just keeps on killing people, Columbo keeps on catching him, and they just keep on letting him go. When will the madness end?
LOL LOL good one
Reality Check lmao perfect! Well played.....
@Shaz Zoiks!
I liked Robert Culp as a villain.
LOL!
Robert Culp plays being under stress very well when Columbo presses his character into a corner. The look of irritation on his face.
Agree
So well done. Robert Culp made a terrific villain in all 3 episodes.
He did, the ding o ling ice cream man!
the ding a ling ice cream truck..best one...😍
He was in 4
@@shane-irish but 3x villain only.
Except Half Life episode 3
The Robert Culp and Jack Cassidy episode's are all classic.
Yes I agree!!
And William Shatner
And Patrick McGuigan. For one star one episode hard to top Johnny Cash
Absolutely.
You’re forgetting someone…
"Double Exposure" film is one of the very best !!!! Great performance of Peter Falk and Robert Culp !
Agree!
Peter Falk, Robert Culp, Jack Cassidy & the rest...Simply the best!!!
Patrick McGoohan also.
@@moodyguymick I've come to really love Jack Cassidy and his three performances.
And William Shatner too.
@@DodgerFan1988 .No.......not Shatner.....his performance in Fade into Murder was way over top!
Agreed, Columbo was a true classic. But it went off the boil after series 7. It lost its magic.
The music to Columbo was awesome.
I like to think hes the same guy in every episode, he just keeps getting caught and sent to jail. then he escapes, changes his identity, and gets a haircut.
He’s the original Hal/Walter White/Tim Whatley!
hahaha

Like Sherlock Holmes, Columbo needs a Professor Moriarty as a recurring villain. I pick either Jack Cassidy or Robert Culp for the role.
@@edbrown8254 I edge Jack Cassidy as the mendacious Moriarty. Since Culp is involved in blackmail twice, I'd nominate him as the Charles Augustus Milverton to Columbo's Sherlock.
One of The best murder mystery shows ever and I’m a millennial and I absolutely love Columbo! Seen almost every episode!
They've all gone Falk, Culp, McGoohan, Pleasence, Cassidy, Vaughn. The word legend died with them we wont see the likes of that, we didnt realise how lucky we were to have top notch acting back then, and the music.
Yes, good old days!!!
Yes, the music. You don't hear this kind of stuff today.

@@JanPBtest True! Real musicians playing scores. Too expensive now.

It's kinda like watching the nature channel, you want the Cheetah to catch the gazelle but you also want the gazelle to get away.
Peter Falk worked with so many great actors over the years.. The man is legend.
One of the few to had worked with Mirna Loy (Nora Charles in the 6 William Powell Thin Man movies) - a legend from a totally distant time of Hollywood that live long enough to work with another, in an other era of Hollywood, both now gone.
Not many could claim they worked with Great Ladies of the Golden Era that could tell the tales of that time period by the time Peter Falk was playing Columbo.
@randywhite3947 Whoops@ Correct. Thank for the correction:)
He had an excellent onscreen chemistry with Peter Folk...they sold every scene perfectly.
Robert Culp is really nice Columbo villian. He looks intelligent, dignity and handsome so I never expected he is a villian
yes
Best villain of the lot as far as I’m concerned! So cool.
He's great because he's so icy.
and prissy enough to be glad for his arrest ! B-)
Robert culp was so underrated as an actor.r.i.p.
WAS HE ALSO IN" I SPY"??
@@rubybranish9440 Sure was. He was very good as Warren Whalen in Raymond too.
I agree. He was fantastic in the original b/w Outer Limits. I did not personally like I Spy, but still liked Culp.
That suit Culp is wearing in the first clip is absolutely MAGNIFICENT
The music in the first run of the series was terrific... how the "cuckoo clock" notes kick-in when Culp/the villain realizes Columbo has the key piece of evidence and that the jig is up. Just a masterful touch, IMO.
Loved that MAD Magazine named his character Dr Robert Culpable in their Colombo spoof.
I just love the way Columbo never fails to really get under Robert Culps characters, reduces him to speaking through clenched teeth.
One of the top 3 best "guest murderers" (along w/Patrick M. & Jack C.) in the series!
Don't forget Cash! lol
Loved Robert Culp...great actor and writer...superb timing and wit...he is missed
He's one of those actors that I just always felt was a good guy in real life.
The absolute PERFECT actor to play Columbo! Peter Faulk was sensational!
the special guest stars enhanced Faulks performances.
Also my favorite Columbo bad guy. Sometimes I wished he would get away with it and Columbo would always have one that he couldn't completely solve, Culp could have been the Moriarty to Falk's Holmes so to speak and could be a recurring character. In any case, I love Culp's expressions when Columbo finally nails him. A perfect combination of anger, shock, defeat and resignation. You can see it all in his face. Perfect.
Well said! It was as if Culp's character(s) were trying to retain a bit of dignity despite defeat!
How could you say it so good man
avantgardeaclue. In Murder by the Book, Columbo is only able to get Jack Cassidy for one murder instead of two. I bet it really stuck in Columbo’s caw that he didn’t have enough evidence to get him for both murders!
Culp, Milland and Falk.....Oh My!
Culp and McGoohan were 2 of my favorites and each did multiple episodes.
I'LL BE A SON OF A GUN. A CALIBRATION CONVERTER! (I never laughed so hard)
That's a lovely touch
Culp was an excellent villian. You could almost see the noose tightening around his neck when Columbo presented his solution.
Demon with a glass hand
4:35 the face says it all,what a great villain
I didn't get it, guess I'd have to see the whole episode.
at 4;00 the look on his face., when the clock chime ..he probably thought: I should have taken the clock in the phone booth..LOL
Seen this episode years how did the clock get culp caught a can't remembered what happened
@@anthonymcivor7511 He made a call from a phone booth near the murder scene - which of course, didn't have the clock. He claimed he was in the stadium booth (with the clock) when he made the call.

Long live Orion Quest!!!
He was awesome in all his Columbo episodes.
Never thought much of Mr. Culp, but he was always great on Columbo.
Watch I-Spy series from late 60s in which he's paired with Bill Cosby as a duo.
@@RoodJood superb show
Robert Culp was a very underrated actor. He was the best part of Greatest American Hero, also check him out in Hannie Caulder, and Bob, Ted,Carol and Alice
See him in the TV movie, with Angie Dickenson, See the Man Run. He also did a great Outer Limits titled The Demon With the Glass Hand.
Robert Culp is amazing at playing a villain. It must be a natural Culp ability.
Robert Culp exuded class. My favorite actor of all time from Columbo. Jack Cassidy a close 2nd
I just love when the bad guy gets caught red- handed. Especially if he was cocky and had a smart mouth.
Peter as Columbo, could do absolutely nothing and speak volumes. The most intelligent cop possible.
So, so good. Nothing nowadays comes close to these superb productions.
Robert Culp could've just wore those glasses that showed movie scenes of the murder in the lenses and Columbo would've known
It's so funny when Robert gets mad or when he gets caught
It is totally! You can see the agitation. Lol!
1:17 The husband is very good hearted and a responsible man. Hates the guy but keeps his nerves
Excellent Robert Culp / Peter Falk
such quality...want more
Everything is excellent on this movie. I remember this movie from my childchood in '70.
Robert Culp is handsom and great actor.
It was a TV series rather than a movie. Well, I don't think there was a Columbo movie but I could be wrong.
Robert Culp was an amazing actor, I grew up seeing him in various shows on tv. He was intelligent and elegant, we greatly miss him.
I wish He did more movies. He was tall, handsom He could be a good 007.
@@conssuckballs No unfortunatelyhe was an American
@@linjebus Patrick McGoohan turned down the Bond role in Dr. No, and also Live and let die. He was an American, I believe.
Robert Culp was in my favorite Columbo episodes, the Crooked PI one, Most Crucial Game (Ding a Ling Ice Cream Truck) and Double Exposure. Very good writing.
Agreed. Culp is one of the few stand out actors from TV of the 60's and 70's. Always believable in whatever role he was playing.
Hell of an actor!
Robert Culp, nice bad guy.
Thing I don't understand is that Jack Cassidy and Robert Culp kept trying to outsmart Columbo. Both failed a number of times :)
FCN933 Wiley coyote kept trying also...no?
Under normal circumstances people smart like Robert Culp would get away, but the script pattern plan always says that Columbo catches the murderer!
Darn. Now I'm interested in a later Columbo episode. The one where Culp's son is listening in. Never knew great actors were in the 90s episodes. Thanks for the upload,!
I was a big fan of Columbo as a kid and ‘Double Exposure’ was one of my favorites. Today I have a caliber converter for one of my rifles and occasionally think about that episode.
The great thing about a surname like Culp - is that it is usually an open and shut case that he is culpable.
Culps facial expressions were comical lol.

@@cherylT321 It was a groundbreaking show and a lot of westerns spun off from it...Wanted Dead or Alive for instance... and launched Steve McQueen...
I liked him in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, where he played the husband of Natalie Wood. Kind of a dated movie now, but still very interesting.
I liked him in Everyone Loves Raymond, one my all-time favorite shows.
My fav, all series villain.. Loved watching both Columbo and Culp!
Culp was my all time favorite Columbo villain.
5:17 dangerous man? threat? A professor? Oh god, it’s FREEMAN 🤓
The football manager: "I noticed that clock was running a few minutes slow. I just reset it a few days ago."
love how in the last clip you can see a single tear coming out of his eye as he realised he played himself. great acting
Culp was the murder 3 times and the father of the murder in his 4th and last appearance.
you mean murderer
That last episode where he played the dad was awesome. He plays such a great angry jerk!
@@pattierichards7391 "Collumbo Goes To Colleg". A great actor.. Trackdown, I Spy, Greatest American Hero (not his best series), and a slew of guest appearances.
Culp was at the top of his game as a Columbo villain. Always charming and yet tragically flawed. He had the most beautiful jaw line.
I never realized how many characters he played. I figured out that he was the private eye and the subliminal message guy, but I never noticed he was all the others. He completely transformed his appearance.
Faulk played with Spencer Tracy. In his final acting roll ( it's a mad/mad world. ) as the cab driver. Very comical movie 🎥 with a superb class of comedian actors. ( 1963 )
High quality television entertainment that will live on forever!
"'The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness'

If those slides he was looking at still exist they would be worth a fortune.
That episode had Ray Milland as victim's husband, he played the killer in a later episode.
I laughed so hard in the subliminal cut episode when Columbo caught Culp pulling the caliber converter out of the lamp. Culp's dumbfounded look wondering how he got caught had me in stitches.
Robert Culp is my second favourite bad guy after Jack Cassidy
Death Lends a Hand (1971)
The Most Crucial Game (1972)
Double Exposure (1973)
Columbo Goes to College (1990) (plays the father of one of the murderes )

Spectacular! TYVM!
Amazing actor.
Great Actor always loved him 🇺🇸📽🎬❤
The ending with the clock chimes is my favorite Columbo ending.
I just love watching Colombo in action. He is the right man to the job...! 🍷😊🍮🍰
Feels strange hearing all this from Wallace Breen
Last one was the best. The whole episode was great!
Yes, Columbo was particularly relentless in that one. Classic
Culp's character could have easily got out of the sounding the clock by saying that the clock wasn't wind up and working that day.
I’ve watched forensic files a hundred times and never heard of a calibration converter.🤔
Robert Culp is a perfect detestable killer! Columbo is very enjoyable and I’m always rooting for him. In some of the episodes the killer just gives up but in other ones he has to nail them down. Culp likes to talk down to Columbo but he doesn’t know who he is talking to! Columbo gets the last laugh but he never takes it; he’s too humble and smart!
Double Exposure, the episode with the subliminal cuts, was written by the late, great Stephen J. Cannell! He created and wrote some of the most entertaining TV shows of the 1970s & 1980s like The Rockford Files, The Greatest American Hero & The A-Team just to name a few.
A era and generation gone by.

Why have all the full length Columbo episodes starring Robert Culp disappeared from TH-cam?
Robert Culp was the most charming villain!!!
If Jack Cassidy was still alive, he would have been on the later episodes too like Culp and McGoohan. 🥺🥺
We got to watch one series of Columbo in South Africa. Very disappointed it's not on Amazon Prime! Miss Monk too
IMBD has all the Columbo episode for free. Sweet
2 very good detectives. Robert Culp and Colombo
I think it's odd that in all these "Best of" guest star videos, it's always Peter Falk who makes all of these scenes the best. What charisma he had when he played this man Columbo.
