Actor Robert Conrad died Saturday in Malibu, California, at age

84.

In 1965 he landed the lead role, that of Jim West, on CBS' "The Wild, Wild, West." The next decade he starred in "The D.A." and "Assignment:

Vienna."

In 1978 he was nominated for a Golden Globe

for his work on

the NBC action series "Baa Baa Black Sheep." The previous year he won a People’s Choice Award for the role. The disco era saw Conrad in TV commercials for Eveready, daring people to "knock this battery off my shoulder." In the coming decades, he moved into directing movies and TV shows.
