Re: BRING OUT YOUR DEAD (Part Whatever)

Graves was the younger brother of James Arness and his first big TV break was a series called "Fury," about a boy and a horse. Think "Flipper" only with road apples.

It's kinda sad...Peter Graves had an incredible acting career, but all he'll be remembered for are delivering puns while playing a child molester :p
 
Re: BRING OUT YOUR DEAD (Part Whatever)

Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?
Captain Oveur: I can't tell.
Rumack: You can tell me. I'm a doctor.
Captain Oveur: No. I mean I'm just not sure.
Rumack: Well, can't you take a guess?
Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.
Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours?

C'mon, he's also got, "Your mission, should you decide to accept it........." and "This tape will self-destruct in five seconds".

I'd like to think that's what he'll be most remembered for, but I have to admit, I thought of Airplane! when I saw the news.

As well as A&E Biography.

And, of course, "SST: Death Flight."
 
Re: BRING OUT YOUR DEAD (Part Whatever)

I'm dating myself but I first saw Graves in a western-The Yellow Tomahawk-that my dad took me to when I was just a kid. And of course I remember him in an early TV series called "Fury". He really did, however, have an impressive TV and Movie resume.
 
Re: BRING OUT YOUR DEAD (Part Whatever)

Perhaps my favorite Graves is his cameo in the opening minutes of the remake of House on Haunted Hill.

A true rock legend, if he never had the fame that some achieved.

He was 16 when he sang this.

And even if you've never heard of Big Star, I'll almost gaurantee you've heard this song. This is 1972, folks.

A couple more from Big Star. If you've never heard #1 Record/Radio City, the cd that compiles their first two albums on one disk, go out and get it. It was in my player constantly for months after I first got it.

And as was said of the Velvet Underground, the same was often said of Big Star-their first record might not have sold much, but everyone who did buy it went out and started bands of their own. Big Star was a huge influence on a number of musicians in the 80's and early 90's, from REM and Teenage Fanclub, to the Posies and Matthew Sweet. The Replacements gave him the best tribute, writing a song titled simply, Alex Chilton.

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
The greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so's he knew ev'ry tree
Kilt him a bear when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!
