Do you like movies about Gladiators.The original Mission Impossible show was one of the best TV shows ever
RIP Mr. Graves. Thank you for a great film career and being a good man. You were a rare one in Hollywood.
“Both Peter Graves and James Arness were great family men and were good to people around them.”
I suspect their Mother and Father were great parents.
One of the few Hollywood types to not be in trouble all the time. Straight family man. Married to the same woman for 60 years. In Hollywood, that’s remarkable.
I remember the original Mission Impossible. Now that was a good show. The movie versions were all special effects. Hollywood doesn’t know how to leave a classic alone.
I think I heard him doing a voiceover in a commercial recently. Will have to find out the name of the product and whether that was indeed him.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Graves. And may God comfort his family and all who loved him.
I will always think of Graves as “Fury’s Dad”, closely followed by Capt. Ouvre from Airplane.
A class act, he was. Sad to see so many people I grew up watching and appreciating cashing in their chips lately.
The way of the world, I guess.
So how come people like Harry Reid seem to be around forever?
RIP & condolences to his family & friends. Thanks for all the MST3k laughs.
“He learned too late that man was a feeling creature...”
We have clearance, Clarence.
Roger, Roger.
What’s our vector, Victor?
Do you like movies about Gladiators.Peter Graves and Jim Arness: Brothers on TV By: Roger Friedman // Monday March 15, 2010
Peter Graves died Sunday age 83. He was the gray haired, suave, deep voiced star of the “Mission: Impossible” TV series on CBS from 1967 to 1973. Graves was also the younger brother of James Arness, who was Marshall Dillon “Gunsmoke” on CBS from 1955 to 1975. They were probably the only siblings ever to star in simultaneous long running hits on any network. Arness, 87, is still alive. http://showbiz411.blogs.thr.com
Graves has loads of credits besides “MI,” but his long running role as Jim Phelps left an indelible impression. He took over as the show’s lead after married actors Martin Landau and Barbara Bain bolted the series over a contract dispute. Graves stayed til the end and even starred in a reunion series in 1988. Nevertheless, he was never asked to do even a cameo in any of the three big screen adaptations of the series with Tom Cruise.
My favorite Peter Graves performance: as the stone faced but hilarious Captain Oveur in “Airplane!” and its sequel. His co-star was Lloyd Bridges, the late father of newly minted Oscar-winner Jeff Bridges. Whatever you do, don’t call either of them Shirley. 
RIP Mr. Graves, you were the best. Prayers for the Graves family.
I thought his best role was that of ‘Security’ the German spy in Stalag 17
Rest in peace
Rest In Peace, Mr. Graves, and our prayers are with your loved ones. Thank you for making such good use of your God-given talent.
