Did y'all hear that RC made an unexpected appearance at the big Star Trek 40th Anniversary event in Las Vegas this August?
A member of Culpalicious scooped the news to us.
My friend IRL was there and not only saw him, but met him, conversed with him and got his autograph. I warned her that I'm going to have to interview her for the Culp board, but I'll be happy to relay her experience here too, once I hear from her.
She said at one point he was sitting between Richard Kiehl (sp?) and Greg Evigan. I told her that's an unlikely trio if I ever saw one!
For those not in the know, one tie RC has with Trek is one of his ex-wives, France Nuyen. She played Elaan in "Elaan of Troyius," a not-very-well-disguised rendition of the Helen of Troy legend. He met France when he was on "I Spy," and she played Kelly's love interest Sam Phan McLean in at least a couple of episodes ("The Tiger," "Magic Mirror", both written by Culp).
Maybe another tie is that both I Spy and Trek were filmed by NBC, and ran concurrently for a time.
