Ok, I've been watching episodes of Mission Impossible on my computer
for hte last week, and have been watching episodes I've never seen
before.

And then I go to CNN.com and find out that Peter Graves passed away
today.  talk about TRIPPY......

Wish I could have met him before he died and let him know that even
though I wasn't even a thought in 1966, that I still enjoyed watching
reruns of Mission:Impossible.

To be honest, growing up I always knew him as Captain Oveur from the
movie Airplane!, which was a favorite of mine as a kid.

And for those who want a cat reference, download the episode, "The
Seal" in which Peter Graves uses a trained cat to retrieve a priceless
piece of jade.  They extend a metal beam through a hole in the wall
into the gallery, and you watch as Orangey the cat aka Rhubarb walks
across it, opens the plastic case, picks up the jade and brings it
back.

But if you look closely, there are a few shots where the cat is
walking on the beam and then settles down and looks around with a "Why
the heck am I doing this?" look, with an occasional look off camera.

I think its a look saying "What is my motivation again?"

RIP Peter Graves
