I didn't mean the role (sorry), but rather Landau left the show and Nimoy was his replacement as the master of disguise.

I can't recall any Nimoy episodes at all.

who replaced Nimoy when he left?

I think that was when the show got cancelled, was it not?

I think it went for another 2 years after Nimoy.

I looked up the Wiki entry for the show -

Leonard Nimoy starred in season 4 and 5 out of a total of 7, (from 1966-1973) though going by the cast listing he doesn't appear to have had a specific replacement. Given a relatively rotating cast (especially towards the end) perhaps not surprising.

I seem to recall Nimoy leaving due to lack of character development.

Though it's interesting - it says that Peter Graves refused to play Jim Phelps in the 1996 film because Phelps was the traitor, and Greg Morros (Barney Collier) walked out the first film calling it an 'abomination' for the same reason.

I can't remember if Nimoy stayed with the show until it's end or not....

Landau left and was on Space $19.99...

Yes, people I knew who were unfamiliar with the show saw that twist coming as soon as Jon Voight's Phelps "died", but I was caught completely by surprise because I never expected that because I was a fan. even as they were fighting on the train I thought it was a trick to expose the "real villain" - my head was spinning

Well MI-the movie was a complete reboot, Phelps was the only charater reused from the series. I took Phelps' "Tratorism/Death" as sign of parting with the past.

Petere Graves-The only thing I have seen him that was ay count in the last 25 years was an appearence on Clod Case, where he played a Nazi who had been in hiding since WWII. When he was uncovered, Graves had the look of pure evil..his sadism well portayed.

So what has Greg Morris doen since MI The Series.

He died about ten years ago. His son Phil Morris is a familiar face who besides being in an episode of Voyager (or maybe it was ENT) was Kramer's lawyer in a couple of Seinfeld eps and plays the Martian Manhunter on Smallville. Come to think of it I think he was a bridge crewman on one of the TOS Trek films as well.

I wasn't that familiar with the show then, but certainly the plot was quite headspinningly complex. It was a couple of watches before I had it sorted out in my head!

Quick question - was Graves the pilot in 'Airplane'?

Phil Morris was the astronaut in 'One Small Step' wasn't he? I may be wrong but was he not also in the 1988 'War of the World's' TV series as well?
