Marshall Matt Dillon's Kid Brother Dies

For those who have no idea what I am talking about, I am refering to the fact that Peter Graves, the star of Mission Impossible, dies on Sunday. Peter Graves, who played Jim Phelps was the younger brother of James Arness, who played Marshall Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke. Arness was born James King Aurness & Peter Graves was born Peter Aurness. (Graves was a maternal family name.)

I guess I will always remember him primarily for his roles as Jim Phelps. Still enjoy the old shows when I get a chance to see them.
