My Daddy used to watch ‘Lost in Space’ when it was a TV show back in the late 60′s.  He said he always like the robot the best of all because he would wave his arms around and yell ‘Danger, Danger’ when something was wrong.  I used to laugh at him when he would show me how he did it.  It was funny when I was little.  Well I just found out the the man that played the robot on the series just died a few weeks ago.

Bob May, who donned The Robot’s suit in the hit 1960s television show “Lost in Space,” has died. He was 69. May died Sunday of congestive heart failure at a hospital in Lancaster, said his daughter, Deborah May.

He was a veteran actor and stuntman who had appeared in movies, TV shows and on the vaudeville stage when he was tapped by “Lost in Space” creator Irwin Allen to play the Robinson family’s loyal metal sidekick in the series that debuted in 1965.

“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.’”
