	Actors - Peter Lupus

Peter Lupus is an American bodybuilder and actor, born June 17, 1932.

Standing 6'4" with a developed physique, Lupus was one of many bodybuilders who followed Steve Reeves into the sword and sandal films of the late 1950s and early 1960s, occasionally credited as Rock Stevens for such films as Hercules Against The Tyrants of Babylon and Muscle Beach Party. He is best remembered, though, for the role of Willy Armitage on the original Mission: Impossible
television series in the 1960s. Other television work included a guest spot as Tarzan on Jack Benny's television show, and the recurring role of Detective Nordberg on the short-lived sitcom Police Squad! (a part taken by O. J. Simpson for the Naked Gun film series).

Lupus' second claim to fame beyond his television work was as one of the first name male actors to pose fully nude for Playgirl magazine in the early 1970's. Lupus in some ways became the magazine's flagship pinup for the decade, not unlike Barbi Benton at Playboy, with photographs of him in a number of issues. He has distanced himself from the magazine since the 1980's and has declined further pictorials in later years.

He and his wife Sharon have a son, Peter Lupus III, who is also an actor.

Peter Lupus currently runs a nutrition company.
