Bodybuilder and actor Peter Lupus was the centerfold in the April 1974 issue of Playgirl magazine. He was one of the first well-known celebrity men to pose fully nude in a mainstream publication.
His claim to fame came in the television series Mission Impossible where he played the role of Willy Armitage. He was the muscle on that team of government agents who found cool ways to catch the bad guys. Peter didn't have much dialogue in his scenes and in the fifth season the writers reduced his appearances on the show. But fans wrote in and complained about the lack of screen time Peter was getting and the producers put him back in the series. They gave him more dialogue, too.
