Who was Peter Graves : Peter Graves was an actor who's generally known for two performances; Jim Phelps on the hit TV show Mission Impossible, and Captain Oveur from the spoof Airplane.
Grave's big break came from a TV show called 'Fury'. He starred as Jim Newton, and it lasted 116 episodes. His performances in the 60's would eventually culminate into his role on Mission Impossible. As Jim Phelps, Graves was the anchor of the show which brought the sleek spy genre to the small screen.
