'The Dream House..that became a Nightmare! '
I really didn't know much about actor Robert Culp. I think I was introduced to him in the late 1990's with his role of Warren, Debra's father on Everybody Loves Raymond. His handsome jaw and face looked familiar, and I'm sure I must have seen him guesting on a TV show or in an old movie.

As far as FH is concerned, I did connect Culp with William Katt, and the publicity shots I'd found while looking for images for pieces I'd done on Katt. The two co-starred on The Greatest American Hero in the eighties. Culp had a long and varied career with roles on television and in films beginning back in the 1950's. He appeared consistently on TV and in films throughout the sixties, seventies and eighties with a variety of roles including doing more than a few westerns.
Although Culp was in his late sixties when I was introduced to him on Raymond, he still had a strong and handsome face, giving hints he must have been quite a favorite hunk to many when he was younger.
Recently, I read about a nude scene he had in the 1973 horror flick A Name For Evil, so of course, I had to check it out. Along the way, I also had to check out 1969's Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, just to check out Culp in his skivvies.

Dissatisfied with the family architectural business, a man and his wife pack up and move out to his great-grandfather's old house in the country. While trying to patch it up, the house starts to make it clear to him that it doesn't want him there, but the local church (with some off-kilter practices of their own) seems to take a shine to him...
