Hey! 88 ain't bad. I doubt that I'll live that long. RIP Jim.

Let's not forget ole' Dr. Death. Jack Kevorkian also stepped over to the other side today.

Sorry to see. While a little pat, I did always enjoy Gunsmoke. He made a great "Thing" and he did a good job as Bob Graham in "Them".

He made a great "Thing"

Yeah, it totally blew my mind as a kid when I learned that was Arness in that alien costume in that movie!!

Down in the LA sewers hunting giant ants in Them!

Preparing to conquer the earth in The Thing From Another Planet. (What is it about our planet? Why do they always come here?)

Younger brother Peter Graves as Captain Clarence Oveur in Airplane!

Captain Oveur: You ever been in a cockpit before?
Joey: No sir, I've never been up in a plane before.
Captain Oveur: You ever seen a grown man naked?
