Dallas Top Ten Top Ten

I think we are better off just focusing one main top ten

How about top 10 films featuring a Dallas actor and a separate top 10 for TV shows?

Now that is a great idea and much easier for everyone. :fantastic:

Not for me. I have no idea of how to rank their TV shows and unless I add shows where they guest star I don't think I will get a full list of ten tv-shows either. Off the top of my head I can think of the following shows where a cast member plays a major role: I Dream of Jeannie (Larry), Step by Step (Patrick), Walker Texas Ranger (Sheree), Petrocelli (Susan), Orleans (Larry), Models Inc (Linda) and Man From Atlantis (Patrick). Then there's Titans (Victoria) but I never watched that.

But well I suppose it could work. But I still think it would be easier for me to focus of one star at the time.

I love voices! And the voices of the Dallas cast! And the voices of the Spanish actors who dubbed the Dallas cast (most of them). Here is my list:

1- Miss Ellie
2- Bobby
3- Clayton
4- Jack
5- Mark
6- Lucy
7- Mitch
8- Donna
9- Katherine (so sweeeet!)
10- Lady Montford aka Jessie (and if possible, make this a tie with Holly Harwood)

If you don´t like their voices try to imagine them speaking with other people´s voices, in another language. Spanish, for example:​


...or French (oh la la...):


...or German (...):

1. Alan Beam-The only reason he's higher than JR and Katherine is because his voice sounded so sexy!
2. JR Ewing-He really knew how to stretch out that "Hello!" And he knew how to sound seductive.
3. Katherine Wentworth-JR was right about her having a very distinctive voice! Although he really had no room to accuse her of that since his voice was too! Katherine's voice was different from the other women, in a very effective way.
4. Tommy McKay-Also sexy, and I just loved it when he said "Bye, bye, Bobby!"
5. Kristin Shepard-The perfect michievous voice!
6. Mark Graison-So nice...
7. Jack Ewing-Also nice.
8. Mitch Cooper-Deep, but not too deep. A perfect balance.
9. Angelica Nero-Need I say more?
10. Theresa-Hey, there was a reason why the Ewings picked her to answer the phone for them!

Well out of those you just mentioned I've only seen "North & South". (I loved that by the way)
Moreover I wouldn't consider any of those actor as "major stars" of Dallas, as they were all in supporting capacity.
Ok so Lesley-Anne Down was in the opening credits, but when I think of her I don't think "Oh that's Stephanie Rogers from Dallas". Her character on the show just wasn't that memorable and she was only on it for like a half season. In fact if she wasn't already a big star at that time and Dallas was in decline I doubt she'd even gotten opening credit status.

Then as for Donna Reed, yes I know she was a big star prior to Dallas. But somehow when I think of Miss Ellie BBG's version comes to mind first.

But thanks for your very informative list. :)

I only chose those characters to provide variety as you concentrated on a small group of core characters.

Even if we just focussed on Barbara, Larry, Linda, Patrick, Ken, Steve, Jim, Susan and Charlene it wouldn't be too difficult to come up with a top ten, although I don't think it would be as interesting.

Anyway, I don't want to distract any more from the current top ten vote that is going on, I'm very happy to contribute to any Dallas poll whatever subject is chosen.

This one is tricky for the best voices as someone else said, I don't really focus only on the voices but the characters and actors as a whole. Anyway (some of these a bit tongue in cheek) here we go

1. Naldo, because although my finger twitches near the fast forward button whenever he is on, his voice always makes me laugh. Naldo is Dallas equivalent of seasame streets the count

2. Jordan Lee. Again never a favourite character of mine but hilarious voice. His 'Ewing Oil' sounded like u'n'arll. So funny

3. Pam gets my vote for the best laugh I have ever heard on television

4. Lusty dusty's voice like he's from an epic love story in a 30s or 40s movie

5. Katherine all round fabulous

6. Mark

7. Sue Ellen dulcet tones

8. Donna

9. Mickey

10. Clayton

Could we please have a poll on favourite couples next or soon??

Thanks! :)
