Peter Graves, died at the age of 83, just shy of his 84th birthday. According to The Hollywood Reporter, came to brunch on Sunday with his wife and children, and return home, he collapsed before he could enter, died of an apparent heart attack.

Graves' career began in 1942 with an uncredited role as a bomber in the Oscar-nominated short documentary Winning Your Wings. And that was just the beginning. Over the next 68 years, acted in more than 130 projects, which ends with the voice work in video games this year, Darkstar. His outstanding performance for the first time in 1953, when he played in the price of war comedy Stalag 17, but it was her iconic role 14 years later became a star - IMF leader Jim Phelps in Mission: Impossible. But of course, for some of us, no more working memory to recall the 1980 level irreplaceable Graves Spoof!, Where he played the man of odd questions, Captain Clarence Change.

THR writes that Graves never reached the fame of his brother, Gunsmoke star James Arness. For me, however, exactly the opposite is true. Despite having 20-year-long program to be super successful people, his fame beyond a single genre and a major role. It was the white-haired man, with the game, the thing in the cab (hit the jump in its most memorable lines), and I can not imagine Hollywood without him.

Rest in peace, Peter Graves.
