Found in his Pacific Palisades home, he apparently died of natural causes. Perhaps best remembered for his role in Mission: Impossible, he also appeared in the movie Airplane!.

On a personal note, way back around 1979, as I was trying to merge onto a crowded LA Freeway, I turned my head to give the driver blocking me a hard look, and lo and behold it was a yellow Oldsmobile Toronado, and at the wheel was none other than Peter Graves.

The guy had a huge head. Good times.

Rest in peace, Mr. Phelps.
