Great stuff. Larry Hagman was just brilliant as JR. I think he was the central character in the show Dallas.

[@ridenar1456]

when Dallas was drafted Bobby was supposed to be the central Ewing, with the story focused around him marrying a Barns (Romeo and Juliet). JR was just a wider member of the family who flung inappropriate comments at Pam over dinner. I guess Hangman didn't fully read the script.

The greatest villan in the history of tv!!!!!

[@lloydkline7245]

Got my vote

[@itsmylife842]

matt patches I agree 100% about that. J. R. was the greatest villain on tv, by far!

[@redmen801]

Both were villains

[@PlanetBlake]

@@redmen801 : Yeah, Cliff was certainly not a good man at all. He was just way less skilled at being a villain than JR was. Mostly, no matter how hard he tried, Cliff was mostly incompetent at being a villain. Cliff was also vengeful, obsessive, greedy, power hungry, selfish, manipulative, vindictive, and oft times incompetent at business and his relationships. He betrayed his mother, his sister Pam, and basically drove away every lover in his life with his obsessive and selfish behavior of trying to always top the Ewings.

[@PlanetBlake]

JR was the definition of villain. He’d do whatever he had to do to get what he wanted, and he generally was never sorry about the bad things he did, just sorry when he got caught doing it… lol. He was at his ultimate worst ( best ), when he basically drove Edger Randolph to attempt suicide because of JR blackmailing him. Then, without an once of remorse or mercy, JR literally goes to Edger’s hospital bed and tells him that if he ever attempts suicide again, he’ll still expose Edgar’s secret away, as to destroy his memory and his family. JR was the best villain in TV history. At least I can not think of a better one. Not even close.

[@itsmylife842]

Larry"s ad libbing was fantastic. How he could turn a serious scene and then turn it into a comic moment which came natural to him was genius. Then again he was genius enough to go from the likeable Major Tony Nelson into a complete villain in JR with seamless transition. How a nice person can play an evil part is genius.

[@Chemdawg2009]

Super Firmino , because Larry Hagman was a tremendous actor. He was nothing like the JR Ewing character in real life, but he made you feel as if they were one and the same.

[@superfirmino5785]

Chemdawg2009 That's what I was getting at. It was genius how he could switch. Tony Nelson was closer to Larry's personality that JR was. He was so gifted that you actually believed JR was that evil.

From Major Nelson to cold blooded JR Ewing, greatest character change on TV

[@dazzlingdiaz9321]

It wasn't that much of a character change. Yes Larry made JR a believable villain and JR was evil but he was a smiling assassin. There were comedic elements thrown in which was natural for Larry as he was a comedic actor. A genius like him made it seem less and could add humour to it.

[@mammaboy1]

Larry Hagman was a veresitle actor

[@shannonreynolds624]

Seeing all of these confrontations one would never know how good of friends they really were and how all of them really liked each other. Those two could really act. Larry actually was a major support for Ken when he got lung cancer and Ken was there for Larry when he got his liver transplant. Both of them quit everything, drinking and smoking and were almost like each other's "sponsors" and kept each other in line. Either he or Larry ever said an unkind thing about each other, though Larry got irritated when the cast would talk about what a good guy he was because he thought that people were supposed to hate him. Ken was actually close to Jim Davis too and saw him in his coma the night right before he died. He still cries about it when he was asked about it. I guess it's always great when a cast of people are so close and together like they were because not all tv series such as this has people who like/love and care about each other like they did. Hell, many families function worse than this.

[@stephaniee3814]

That's so awesome, thank you so muck for sharing that!!

[@hardren101]

I have read many times that Ken & Larry were good friends but Hagman,Gray,Duffy were ALL besties n celebrated holidays together n met up for lunch/dinner frequently after the show ended (can't recall if it was the 1st of every month or qtrly)....Once the show ran the "who shot Jr" storyline, Dallas officially became the "Larry Hagman show" causing resentment among mny of the cast members ( Bel Geddes & Hagman were cordial but not friends) Victoria Principle has stated publicly more than once that, from the start, she considered the entire cast to be very good people but her relationship never deviated from professional to personal
