[Peter Graves]

"Jimmy - Did you ever see a grown man naked?" Loved him in Airplane.

RIP Peter.

Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

I never knew his brother was actor James Arness from "Gunsmoke"

Mr. Phelps should you choose to accept this mission this tape will self destruct in five seconds.... Get the Stones on the road to support Exile on Main Street playing small clubs.

I didnt know his brother*James Arness) was still alive~ but one of my fav shows as a kid was FURY which Peter was in. Also who could forget that great performance(among many others) of the German "snitch" in Stalag 17.

Oh yeah, Stalag 17 is a classic! He was such a weasel in that! LOVED IT! Ottopremenger was great as well!

Peter Graves lifetime movie and acting bio and info:


[Peter Graves Bio from IMDb]

He was directly in front of us in line at the Reno airport about 3-4 years ago to get onboard a Southwest flight (he probably had a place up at Lake Tahoe). You wouldn't have known it was him until he spoke, that VOICE was just amazing to hear in person.

I love Mission:Impossible, and Jim Phelps was the key ingredient.

RIP Peter Graves.

One cool dude. RIP.

That is an impossible mission.....R.I.P. Peter.

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

"I love Mission:Impossible"
in retropsect it was a pretty disgusting show, right? Making the overthrow of foreign countries groovy & sexy... yuck! Who wrote the scenarios? The guys from L@ngley?

Did you watch the show? They didn't advocate over throwing governments! The shows were mini scams and cons of deceptions against bad guys. Classic show.

Unfortunately, many people are only familiar with the crappy MI movies and never watched the TV show. I remember reading that Greg Morris walked out of the original movie in 1996, shortly before he died of cancer, because he thought it was crap. How could they make Phelps a traitor?

"Jimmy, you ever been in a Turkish prison?" Brilliantly funny stuff. That role was a total departure from any of his earlier roles.

R.I.P. Peter Graves.

Greg Morris' son played 'Jackie Chiles' on 'Seinfeld'

I remember him in "Fury".
ouch, revealing my age :-)

RIP Captain Oveur

I remember having be very impressed by MI when I was a kid. The music of Lalo is SO GREAT !! a masterpiece.
Short but so right. Percussions I love.
