Willy Armitage

Willy Armitage was an agent of the Impossible Missions Force in the Mission: Impossible TV series. He was played by actor Peter Lupus.
Role
Willy Armitage's role as an IMF agent was that of "muscle" and a supporting player. Generally, Armitage was brought in on missions to work behind the scenes in roles such as a waiter at a party or a maintenance man. He was not generally used in complex role play. In his IMF dossier, it was noted that he had set a world record in weight lifting. His incredible strength was particularly leveraged in several missions, such as the pilot mission and Old Man Out. He was experienced in hand-to-hand combat, and was often called on to silently disable sentries and policeman with a single blow. He had other skills which were leveraged, but not prominently featured, such as automobile customization in the mission Memory.
Willy Armitage, along with Barney Collier, was one of only two IMF agents that were regulars on the team for the entire seven-season run of the original Mission: Impossible TV series. Like all of the regular IMF agents, he was not used in every mission, but he was always shown in the opening credits.
