Chaves served in the Army in Vietnam and co-wrote a play about his experiences, "Tracers." He and eight other veterans wrote and acted in the play, which won the 1980 Los Angeles Drama Critics Award for best ensemble and the Theatre World Award for outstanding new talent. Besides Los Angeles, they presented the play in New York and London.

He also starred in "Vietnam Trilogy" on the stage and participated in the Home Box Office special "Dear America: Letters Home From Vietnam." His last Vietnam-connected role was in the TV movie "To Heal a Nation." He also starred with Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Predator" and with Don Johnson in "Cease Fire." The latter was taken from the third act of "Vietnam Trilogy," in which Johnson played his role from the stage and Chaves played his best friend. In "The Gambler III," he played Irondog, a Lakota Sioux. "That role put me back in touch with my Indian heritage," he said. "Ironhorse was written as a Blackfoot, but I asked to play him as my own heritage. My mother was part Cherokee, Scottish and Irish.

My father was a full-blooded Castilian from Spain. My grandparents came from Spain. "This role is perfect timing. It's a role that combines my Indian background and my military experience. I've been very fortunate in my career that way." Chaves, 37, is unmarried but said he has been close twice.

He is an avid golfer. LOS ANGELES One more thing to worry about: The invading Martians are still with us and determined to take over Earth in "War of the Worlds." Reports of their destruction during Orson Welles' famous radio re-creation of the H.G. Wells classic "War of the Worlds" on Halloween eve in 1938 or in George Pal's 1953 movie were premature. Leading the fight against the alien invaders is Lt. Col.

Paul Ironhorse, played by Richard Chaves in Paramount's syndicated TV series "War of the Worlds" which airs Saturdays at 9 p.m. on KCOP, Channel 13. "Ironhorse is the head of the Special Forces," Chaves said. "I describe him as being able to fly anything that can fly, drive anything that can move and shoot anything that can shoot. He's a hard-charging, spit-and-polish soldier, but he's changing.

"He's changing mainly in the direction of his Indian heritage. At West Point, he had to shed his Indian heritage. Now, he's becoming more sensitive. He's going to need the instincts and special skills of his Indian ancestors." In the TV series, the aliens have been in suspended animation since their defeat in the 1953 movie. But accidental exposure to radioactive waste revives them and sends them off again on their mission to wipe out human life and prepare Earth for alien colonization.

The hourlong series also stars Jared Martin, Lynda Mason Green and Philip Akin. It is a sister syndicated series to Par- Richard Chaves Role fits his background amount's "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Friday the 13th: The Series." Wells' "War of the Worlds" was a Victorian classic that became a granddaddy of science fiction in 1897. Paramount purchased the film rights in 1925 for director Cecil B. De Mille. For nearly 30 years, the script passed through many hands until it reached producer George Pal.

His 1953 production won an Oscar for special effects and is considered a film classic. The series is made in Toronto, where Chaves said he sometimes has a charcoal heater on each side during outdoor filming. "I'm hoping we'll be indoors for at least half of the shows," he said. Chaves was born in Florida, the son of a Marine Corps officer, and grew up in warm-weather areas. His father is now a Drug Enforcement Agency agent in San Diego.

"The first TV show I ever did I played a Marine captain," FRIDAY TV HIGHLIGHTS TV'S BEST BETS fa 1 1 'X Ml "Peter Pan" NBC, 8 p.m. Can "Peter Pan" again capture the hearts of children as it did in the '50s and '60s? A bit of history: "Peter Pan" was billed as the first network TV showing of a full Broadway production. Based on the classic play by Sir James M. Barrie, it was presented live on March 7, 1955, with Mary Martin as the boy who refused to grow up and Cyril Ritchard as Captain Hook; Martin won an Emmy for her performance. It proved so popular that it was repeated, again live, in January 1 956.

The one repeated tonight was originally produced on videotape and aired Dec. 8, 1960, then rerun in 1963, 1966 and 1973. (Mia Farrow and Danny Kaye starred in a different produc tion with a new score in 1976.)
