I saw Robert Culp as I was walking through the booths at SDCC. He was sitting at a table in front of prints from Greatest American Hero. Not quite off the beaten trail but not in the heavy traffic area either. I was moving through these aisles to avoid the worst of the traffic jams.
I was surprised. I hadn’t expected to see him there so I walked over and said hello. I think he was about to leave to eat or something and I told him I’d come back later but he waved off that comment and told me to stay.
This is the guy I saw in Greatest American Hero and later on Everyone Loves Raymond and dozens of others movies and shows. But I really remember him most from the Glass Hand episode from Outer Limits. When I told him that, he paused and looked over the table and pulled out the photo. I smiled. I had seen that photo within seconds after I approached him and knew that was what I wanted signed.
