RIP Peter Graves
Actor Peter Graves was found dead Sunday afternoon at his home in Pacific Palisades. He was 83 years old.
Used to love watching Mission Impossible when I was a kid. The guy had me laughing my ass off in Airplane! A role he turned down at first, said it was stupid, which it was but that was the whole point of it. Wonder if this will start another number of deaths, seems like every time some in show business dies several other soon fallow. Of course could be people are just getting old, like me.

aww damn. I'll have to go watch that movie again.
Each time I see it I always find something that I didn't see before. Those of you young'uns didn't ever see it, check it out.

I'll never watch a movie about gladiators again without thinking of him. RIP

I really don't know anything about his personal life but I hope he was happy since he sure gave me and many others plenty of enjoyment.
As a kid I always watched and really enjoyed Mission Impossible and he was a key part of that TV show. Of course Airplane was so stupid funny I'm laughing now just thinking about it. I'll ask my two boys (14 & 15yo) if they've ever watched it...I think they haven't yet, so I'll encourage them to give it a try. |
