Warning, Will Robinson, Warning!
You probably haven't ever heard of him and I shan't pretend that I had, but Bob May, the man inside of Lost In Space's robot has died.
May went on to appear in numerous films with Jerry Lewis and in such TV shows as The Time Tunnel, McHale's Navy and The Red Skelton Show.
Bob May, back left
He was particularly fond of his Robot role, once saying he came to consider the suit a "home away from home".
May wore the suit for hours and learned the lines of every actor in the show so he would know when to respond to them.
