Film and television legend Robert Culp died Wednesday after falling and hitting his head outside his home in Los Angeles, The Los Angeles Times reports.
Now, if you don’t know Culp by name, then you probably recognize his face, and if you don’t recognize his face (how could you not? He only appeared in like 1,000 movies and TV shows during his 50-plus-year career!), then you definitely know him by voice. Culp was responsible for the utterly brilliant portrayal of Dr. Wallace Breen in Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One. “Welcome. Welcome to City 17.” It still gives me chills.
Culp’s performance as Black Mesa Research Facility administrator turned Combine puppet is one of the best of all time, and even though (SPOILER!!!) Gordon Freeman killed him at the end of HL2, I was pulling for him to pop up again in some form in Episode Three, whenever it’s finally released. I guess this pretty much kills that hope, unless Valve is sitting on extra Culp recordings, in which case Breen could show up after all. Fingers crossed.

Culp was a well-know face, a major television star back in the day. My favorite was "I Spy" with Bill Cosby. He will be missed.

I never really thought about who's voice that was but without a doubt it sounded familiar, nice to finally put a face with the voice, now I'm bummed at Valve for not getting Ep3 out before this tragedy.

Great freakin actor, and portrayer of stories in all medium. "Demon with the Glass Hand" from 1965's outer limits, anyone anyone

The L.A. Times should have just lied and said that he built a giant orb on his roof, got inside, threatened to blow up the world, then imploded after an officer threw some stuff at it.
But anyways, R.I.P. I always wanted to put Dr. Breen on one of my shirts.

I had a feeling it would be him, damn! when i read the headline, the first thing that popped in my head was that first time he appears, he says, "welcome to city 17"... DAMN SAD!

NOOO! by far my favorite performance in the series. i too was hoping for a reappearance in episode 3. it was totally possible too, seeing that his death was left with a question mark. looks like i will be drowning my sorrows in dr. breen's private reserve tonight.
