Danger, Will Robinson

Bob May, the man inside B9, aka Robot, in every episode of camp classic Lost in Space, has died at the age of 69. He didn’t provide the voice, and got the job because he could fit inside the suit, so he mostly owes his fame to the obsessed Comic-Con set. Although he fit, it wasn’t an easy job getting in and out, and he would spend all day inside the Robot on set, even taking cigarette breaks in costume, so to speak, and turning one of TV sci-fi’s most beloved characters into a chimney.
