Trivia

Born at 11:16pm-PDT

Father of Joseph Culp, Joshua Culp, Jason Culp and Rachel Culp, from his marriage to Nancy Ashe

Would have replaced Larry Hagman as J.R. in "Dallas" (1978) if Hagman decided not to return to the series because of contract negotiations. There was a storyline already to explain JR`s new face: a bullet had struck him right in that evil smile and he would require plastic surgery, and when the bandages came off there would be Robert Culp. However, the pay dispute was resolved and Hagman came back.

He is a poker playing buddy of Hugh M. Hefner as a result, he is a frequent guest at the Playboy Mansion.

Father of Samantha Hallie Culp, from his marriage to Candace Faulkner.

Wrote a pilot script in 1964 for an espionage series to star himself, but opted for "I Spy" (1965) instead.

Wrote a pilot script in 1962-63 for director Sam Peckinpah called "Summer Soldiers" that was never produced.

Is left-handed.
