biography
Born Peter Aurness in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on March 18, 1926, handsome actor Peter Graves has enjoyed a career that has spanned six decades. Graves got his start in radio as a teenager. Following a stint in the armed services, he enrolled at the University of Minnesota in 1946 as a drama major and later headed for California. A year after marrying his wife Joan, Graves snagged a starring role in his first film, the independently produced Rogue River (1951; with Rory Calhoun). His next film, for the same production company, was the western Fort Defiance (1951; with Dane Clark, Ben Johnson, and Tracey Roberts). In 1952, he starred in his first science fiction vehicle, Red Planet Mars (with Andrea King), setting the stage for Graves' string of science fiction films in the 1950s which includes Killers from Space (1954; with Barbara Bestar), It Conquered the World (1956; with Beverly Garland and Lee Van Cleef), and Beginning of the End (1957; with Peggie Castle and Morris Ankrum). In addition, Graves appeared in a number of westerns, such as Robbers' Roost (1955; with George Montgomery and Bruce Bennett) and Fort Yuma (1955; with John Hudson), along with a number of dramas and war pictures.

peter graves today
Today, Peter Graves is probably best known for his 1966-1973 series Mission: Impossible, in which he appeared from 1967 through the end of the series. But cult audiences have given new life to Graves' science fiction and horror flicks, including his 1970s films Scream of the Wolf (1974; with Clint Walker and Philip Carey) and Parts: The Clonus Horror (1979; with Dick Sargent and Keenan Wynn). Alhtough never lacking work, Graves reinvigorated his career with his hilarious role as Captain Clarence Oveur in Airplane! (1980; with Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty). In 1987, he began hosting A & E Network's successful Biography series, which he stayed with through the 1994 season. Today, Peter Graves still makes occasional film appearances, and he sometimes guest-stars on such popular television series as 7th Heaven.
As is widely known, western legend James Arness is the brother of Peter Graves, and Graves even directed at least one episode of Arness' series Gunsmoke in the 1960s.
