That scene was, and still is, one of the best.

I just heard on the news that he had passed. He had a good run, and an atypical Hollywood marriage, too. I agree... RIP

His serious, professional.....yet 'perverted' () portrayal of Capt Oveur in Airplane PERFECTLY acted as a foil with Leslie Nielsen's deadpan portrayal of the doctor......Classic.....

Yup. He had a good run.

Can't recall if it's Graves or Stack who stops at the magazine rack in one scene. Check out the magazine catagories next time you watch....

It appears James Arness is still kicking:

Greetings from James Arness

Peter Graves was a really good actor.

I recall reading many, many years ago, that James Arness and Peter Graves were brothers.
IF memory serves me, their last name is "Aurness" and James changed it to Arness for his acting career, and Peter selected their Mom's maiden name for his professional name.

I, for one, was angered to hear that in the first big screen movie, "Mission Impossible", that they had turned "Mr. Phelps" into a bad guy.


In any event, Mr. Peter Graves entertained us for many, many years, and because of that, he will be sorely missed.

Rest In Peace Mr. Graves. You will be missed.
