Peter Graves has combined an enormously successful film acting career, spanning the classic "Staglag 17" to the hilarious "Airplane," with an equally rewarding TV career encompassing more than a half-dozen series, several major mini-series and numerous movies-for-television.

Signing on to head the "Mission: Impossible" force for six of the seven years the original series ran on CBS-TV (1966-73) firmly established Graves as a star international importance; a status that continues undiminished.

When ABC-TV decided to bring "Mission: Impossible" back to the home screens, they chose Graves to head the all new cast. He also continues with his hosting chores for the Arts & Entertainment Network's popular "Biography" series.
