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 to 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 over 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 war comedy Stalag 17, but it was her iconic role 14 years after he became a star - IMF leader Jim Phelps in Mission: Impossible. But of course, for some of us, there is no better working memory to remember the plane Graves irreplaceable 1980 Spoof!, Where he played the man of odd questions, Captain Clarence Change.

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

Rest in peace, Peter Graves.
