Bob May (1939-2009)

More sad news to report: Bob May, the actor and veteran stuntman who heroically endured the robot suit on all three seasons of Irwin Allen's Lost in Space (1965-1968) has just passed away, according to Yahoo News.

Here's a link to the story:

"He always said he got the job because he fit in the robot suit," said June Lockhart, who played family matriarch Maureen Robinson. "It was one of those wonderful Hollywood stories. He just happened to be on the studio lot when someone saw him and sent him to see Irwin Allen about the part. Allen said, 'If you can fit in the suit, you've got the job.'"
