Peter Graves (actor)

The left-handed Graves is married with Joan Endress (since 1950) and has 3 daughters. His brother is the American actor James Arness (Gunsmoke). He has also directed films. He is best known as a lead in TV's Mission: Impossible and for his portrayal of Captain Clarence Oveur in Airplane!. He made a cameo appearance as a rock band's manager in the Pink Floyd film The Wall, where his one-word expletive exclamation was the film's only dialogue. Peter Graves (born March 18, 1926 as Peter Aurness) is an American actor who made more than 70 screen and TV films and series. He takes it to the lavatory to read, and if it's an enthralling script, his buttocks will have gone cold due to the time elapsed. Hoskins is known for his "cold bum test" which he uses whenever he receives a new script.

He has also appeared in Super Mario Bros. (1993), which was considered a flop. His performances in British films such as The Long Good Friday (1980) and Mona Lisa (1986) won him the approval of the critics and, in the case of the latter, an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. He hit the big time in 1978 when he starred in Dennis Potter's successful BBC drama serial, Pennies From Heaven. Born in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England, Hoskins had a number of occupations before going into acting, and made his stage debut in 1969.

Robert William "Bob" Hoskins (born October 26, 1942) is a British actor who specialises in playing Cockney rough diamonds and/or gangsters and in family films such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988).
