  • Dick Tufeld (LiS Robot) @85



    Dick Tufeld, a longtime radio and TV announcer who intoned "Danger, Will Robinson!" as the voice of the Robot in the 1960s science-fiction TV series "Lost in Space," has died. He was 85.

    Tufeld died Sunday at his home in Studio City while watching the NFL playoffs, his family said. He had heart disease and had been in declining health since sustaining a fall last year.

    I recall reading a couple of years ago that he would record Robot dialogue for (almost!) anyone who sent in a script. So much per line and I don't think he was cheap.

    Definitely one of my favorite voice actors and one of my favorite characters.

    I wonder how Douglas Rain is doing these days?

      Douglas Rain is still ticking last I heard, and about 84. His last movie was as HAL 9000 in 2010
