Larry Hagman passed away last night, from cancer. Played J.R. Ewing on Dallas but had became well known first on "I Dream of Jeannie"
A great actor-may he rest in peace http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=776369

RIP Larry.
I was never a fan of Dallas - probably too young to really be bothered about it - but I'll always remember him fondly for his appearance on Vic and Bob's 'Shooting Stars' where, despite looking incredibly confused and a little bit scared by the surreal nonsense exploding around him, he gamely hung on in there to the end, and looked as if he at least least appreciated the silliness even if he didn't get it.

Such a shame, a very talented actor. It's not easy to portray such a character as JR Ewing, but damn he managed it well.
RIP sir. EDIT: Also, coincidence (not irony) that of all the hospitals he could have died in, it had to be one in Dallas. EDIT: EDIT: And now I'm going to have the theme tune to Dallas stuck in my head all day.... Last edited by Oberon; 11-24-12 at 03:09 PM. |

I was a teenager when I saw him in I Dream Of Jeannie. He had a very brief sitcom shortly after that called The Good Life. I remember his part in The Eagle Has Landed and his very funny bit roll "saving" Valerie Perrine in the first Superman movie.
There was a lot of publicity over his attempts to get more money for his role as J.R. Ewing, using the whole "who shot J.R.?" thing as leverage. According to an article I read, he did win those negotiations, but he apparently went back to work before the deal was done. He gave a funny interview at the time. When the reporter asked him why he was back at work for the same pay as before, Hagman said something to the effect of "They told me the ambulance might crash on the way to the hospital, and after plastic surgery J.R. could come out looking a whole lot like Robert Culp."

Then that's evidence that he was a good actor.  To be honest, I thought he had passed away a few years ago.

Thanks for everything, Mr. Hagman.
The range of his acting ability, largely unused on TV can be seen from 1964's Fail Safe where he plays Buck, President Henry Fonda's Russian language translator. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058083/ |

I'll go and correct that. In my defence I had not long woken up when I wrote it.

Good call. He was very good in that movie. And a surprisingly difficult character to play.
