I Spy Tidbits

Historically, I Spy will be remembered as the first television show to feature a Black actor, Bill Cosby, in a lead role. Fans will recall it as great fun.

Kelly Robinson (Robert Culp) was an Ivy Leaguer whose spy cover was that of a top-seeded tennis pro. Alexander Scott (Bill Cosby) was a scholar and language expert who posed as Kelly's trainer.

The show was filmed all over the world in exotic locales as the American intelligence agents plied their secret trade. Culp and Cosby never took life too seriously and often found the humor even in dangerous situations.

I Spy was an excellent vehicle for Cosby to show that he was more than a standup comic.

In 1994 the cast reunited to film the TV movie "I Spy Returns."
