He graduated from High School in 1947, yet served in WW II? Where did he find the time? Perhaps the Korean War makes more sense.
[edit] Removed incorrect info about WWII and the jacket in GAH
I co-admin a board dedicated to Robert Culp, and a member was kind enough to point out the glaringly obvious error of Mr. Culp graduating high school in 1947 (which makes sense), yet having served in WWII (which does not make sense).
Also, the incorrect information about his character Bill Maxwell from The Greatest American Hero was removed. His favorite baseball jacket had "72ND ARMORED DIVISION" on it, including the insignia, not the division that was listed. Just another FYI: His character's rank was Master Sergeant (I looked this up on the US Army site to verify it).
The patch shown of the 72nd Armored Division is correct, but there were many for Armored Divisions; the 72nd is just one of many.
I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but I don't know if Mr. Culp served in the military or not. If I find out he did, I'll certainly put that information in here, once I verify its accuracy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.37.61.66 (talk) 03:34, 4 February 2007 (UTC).
I want to add one more thing to Mr. Culp's biography, but I'm hoping to find the year of graduation first. He spent his last two years in college at the University of Washington (Seattle), where he also taught classes, I think as a student teacher. He also used to give voice lessons while an up-and-coming actor in New York City. One of his students was Betty Page. (This information is from his extensive commentary in "The Robert Culp Collection," the two "I Spy" DVDs of the seven episodes he wrote for the series.)
