Oh, God Bless him. I really enjoyed his work!
I know. I was correcting my previous post.
Thanks though.
RIP, Captain Oveur.
He was good in Winds of War and War and Remembrance. RIP.
Sad news. Loved him in Stalag 17 and of course Airplane!
RIP Peter Graves. Prayers out to his family
Night of the Hunter”? That movie scared me to death when I was a kid.
Ah yes. The bank robber father of the kids!
Movie about monsters frightened me as a kid, but movies about evil people frightened me even more!
Yes! Even as a kid I could recognize the difference between fantasy and real life. There would never be a Godzilla, but evil people were plentiful.
I grew up with Mission Impossible.
Your final mission Jim, should you decide to accept it. Tell God to clean up this mess!
He was a great actor!

I think the first Terminator movie evolved from this screen play basic concept except for the obvious changes.
I remember Leslie Nielson using that line in the Naked Gun movies, but not Peter Graves.
That’s regional when I was growing up in Texas lunch was always dinner and the nightime meal was supper. There are a lot of southerners that would make the same assumption as that lady.They spoofed that very thing on an IHOP commercial years ago about dinner supper or dinner lunch.
I like the movie, Airplane, and I’m sorry to hear that. Prayers, and may he RIP.
Thanks for the clip
May he RIP, God Bless his family and friends.
Wow, he got his star just in the nick of time.
I only knew him as Captain Oveur, who did eat the fish, on the ill-fated Airplane flight. He was marvelously deadpan. “Billy, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?”
RIP, Mr. Graves.
This has to be one of the very few "Most Laughs Per Minute" films ever.
James Arness is still alive? Are you sure?
Rest in peace, Mr. Graves. What a mom to produce these two great guys.
