Peter Graves Passes Away at 83

 

 

In a story from Variety, actor Peter Graves died of natural causes in Pacific Palisades, CA, this Sunday. He was 83.

 

Some of Graves most notable work included starring in the show Mission: Impossible and the films Stalag 17 and Airplane.

 

Graves initially replaced Steven Hill as the lead character in CBS' Mission: Impossible in 1967. He was leader of the Impossible Missions Force for six seasons. He also appeared in the 1988 remake of the series. Graves later starred as Capt. Clarence Oveur in Airplane and its sequel.

 

He was born Peter Aurness in Minneapolis. He became a radio announcer at age 16. After being in the Air Force, he studied drama at the University of Minnesota. Shortly after this he went to Hollywood. His older brother James Arness was already the star of Gunsmoke. Graves' first foray into film was 1951's Rogue River.

 

In 1996 he turned down a chance to co-star with Tom Cruise in the big screen version of Mission:Impossible.

 

He almost didn't do Airplane in 1980. However, he found out that Leslie Nielsen was going to be in the film. Then he met Jerry and David Zucker and that convinced him to do it.

 

Graves is survived by his brother James Arness, his wife, actress Joan Endress; and three daughters.

Oveur and out...

Simon: Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet your captain, Captain Oveur.

Clarence Oveur: Gentlemen, welcome aboard.

Simon: Captain, your navigator, Mr. Unger, and your first officer, Mr. Dunn.

Clarence Oveur: Unger.

Unger: Oveur.

Dunn: Oveur.

Clarence Oveur: Dunn. Gentlemen, let's get to work.

Simon: Unger, didn't you serve under Oveur in the Air Force?

Unger: Not directly. Technically, Dunn was under Oveur and I was under Dunn.

Dunn: Yep.

Simon: So, Dunn, you were under Oveur and over Unger.

Unger: Yep.

Clarence Oveur: That's right. Dunn was over Unger and I was over Dunn.

Unger: So, you see, both Dunn and I were under Oveur, even though I was under Dunn.

Clarence Oveur: Dunn was over Unger, and I was over Dunn.

Δεν πεθανε απο φυσικα αίτια, απλα ο Υπουργος δεν αναγνωρίζει την υπαρξη της MIF. Το ελεγε και στην κασετα "As always, if you or any member of the MI Force is killed or arrested..."

 

RIP:-(
