 Gary Westfahl's Bio-Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Film: Peter Graves
Then, a decade later, while James Arness was having less and less success in his post-Gunsmoke endeavors, Graves was triumphantly called back to star in the revived and otherwise-recast Mission: Impossible, still the best actor for the part.
Earlier, Graves had suffered through some of the worst science fiction movies of the 1950s, including the inane Red Planet Mars and It Conquered the World, but his better-than-average acting improbably helped to make The Beginning of the End one of Gordon's most successful films.
Now enjoying a dignified semi-retirement as one host of AandE's Biography series, Graves might well suggest an episode devoted to his own career, which would certainly be far more interesting than an episode about his big brother Jim.
