Just saw that Peter Graves passed away. :frown:

"Timmy, do you like movies about gladiators?"

Thanks, Peter. You made a bunch of folks smile.

He and his brother, quite a talented pair. I heard that he changed his last name to differentiate himself from his brother's career.

His brother: James Arness of Gunsmoke, arguably the greatest TV lawman of them all.

RIP, Peter. :angel:

"We have clearance, Clarence."
"Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?"

Mission Impossible still showing in reruns and we must have seen just about all of them. They are still good fun to watch.

If you haven't seen the movie Airplane, Captain Clarence Oever was played by Peter Graves.

PA : Captain Oever, white courtesy phone. Captain Clarence Oever, white courtesy phone. <OEVER PICKS UP A RED PHONE.>
Operator: NO! THE WHITE PHONE.
Oever : Oh! ( picks up white phone ) This is Captain Oever!
Operator: One moment for your call from the Mayo Clinic.

Oever : I'VE GOT IT!
PA : Thank you.
Operator: Go ahead with your call.
Mayo Doc: Uh, this is Doctor Brody at the Mayo Clinic. There's a
passenger on your Chicago flight 209er, a little girl
named Lisa Davis, en route to Minneapolis. She's
scheduled for a heart transplant, we'd like you to tell
her mother we found a donor an hour ago. We have the
heart here, ready for surgery. . . We must have the
recipient on the operating table within 6 hours. I
want you to make sure she's kept in a reclined position
and that a continuous watch is kept on her IV. Also,
its very important that she remain calm. . .
Operator: EXCUSE ME, This is the operator Captain Oever, I have
an emergency call on line 5 from a Mr. Hamm.
Oever : Alright, Give me Hamm on 5, hold the Mayo.

Roger Murdock : We have clearance Clarence.
Clarence Oever : Roger, Roger. What's our Vector Victor?
Tower : Tower's radio clearance, over!
Clarence Oever : That's Clarence Oever! Oever.
Tower : Roger.
Roger Murdock : Huh?

Roger Murdock : Huh?
Clarence Oever : Huh?

Just read that he was married to his college sweetheart - 60 years. A whole other level of achievement, especially in Hollywood.

And for those of us of a 'certain' age, who can forget "<span style="font-style: italic">Fury</span>...the story of a horse, and the boy who loved him"? Peter Graves played the father on that show, one of my favorites from my early childhood!
