RIP: Dick Tufeld, a voice actor best remembered for his role as the Robot on the classic sci-fi TV show Lost in Space, passed away Sunday in an LA-area hospital. He was 85.
“Dick Tufeld was a really cool guy,” wrote his Lost in Space co-star Bill Mumy. “He’s reunited with his wife Adrian now. R.I.P. Dick. You will be missed bigtime.”
A staple of Irwin Allen productions, Tufeld provided narration for both Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and The Time Tunnel. He was also known for his work on the animated adaptation of Fantastic Four, as well as his announcing gigs for Disney in the 50’s and 60’s.
Tufeld most recently reprised his role as the Robot for the 1998 feature film adaptation of Lost in Space.
Below, some of his most memorable moments as the Robot:
