May's daughter Deborah said he died Sunday of congestive heart failure at a hospital in Los Angeles County's Lancaster area. He was 69. May was a veteran actor and stuntman who had appeared in movies, television shows and on the vaudeville stage when he was tapped by "Lost in Space" creator Irwin Allen to play the Robinson family's loyal metal sidekick in the series that debuted in 1965. Although May didn't provide the robot's distinctive voice, he developed a following of fans who sought him out at memorabilia shows. The robot's line to one of the Robinson children, "Danger, Will Robinson," became a national catchphrase. He also appeared in numerous films with Jerry Lewis and in such television shows as "The Time Tunnel," "McHale's Navy and "The Red Skelton Show."[/i] i think i remember my brothers liking this show but it was before my time.. any fans here?
