Personal Quote:
Some people just stand out on the screen. Bob certainly did. [commenting on Airplane! co-star Robert Stack]Trivia:
He said it was almost over for Capt. Clarence Oveur before the movie Airplane! (1980) took flight. Graves said he was astounded when his agent sent him the script for the 1980 spoof, and after reading it he felt that it was "the worst piece of junk" he had ever seen. However, he changed his mind after meeting with the movie's writers, Jerry Zucker and David Zucker. See more »Trademark:
