RIP ROBERT DOWDELL 1932-2018

Lt Comdr. Chip Morton has died.

Robert will always be remembered by many, many people as Chip Morton on the long running Sci-Fi TV show "Voyage To the Bottom of The Sea". He appeared in over 100 episodes of that great Irwin Allen series in the 1960's.

Dowdell also starred in Stoney Burke as Cody Bristol, and then he got his break with Irwin Allen. Dowdell was a very quiet and reserved man who left acting after 1995.

He was a staple of my childhood every Sunday night on Voyage. His cause of death is unknown as I write this since it was reported on his FB page and the Irwin Allen site. He was 85.
