Robert Culp played hero types pretty well. But the really fun parts to play are the "heavies," and I think he really enjoyed doing those rules.

Max Von Sydow, the great Swedish actor, is said to have really enjoyed playing Ming the Merciless in the movie version of "Flash Gordon." It gave him a chance to snarl and roar for a change.

If you didn't like Robert Culp after seeing him play a villain, that just shows how good a job he did in the part.
