[QUOTE="Rove, post: 177777, member: 100"] I don't see this interview as mean spirited. Michael is simply offering his honest opinion when both he and David Jacobs were working on those early episodes of Dallas. Sometimes producers/writers/showrunners have a clear image in their mind what actors would best suit characters. I personally would never have picked Larry Hagman to play JR based on his turn as Major Nelson on [I]I Dream of Jeannie[/I]. Honestly does anyone here think Larry could play such a character? Guess what? The bloke nailed it. I have never heard of or seen any work related to Mary Frann so I won't judge whether she could have played a convincing Sue Ellen. There is also the chemistry factor which comes into play. From the very first moment, Patrick/Victoria had spark. The same could be said with Larry/Linda and Jim/Barbara Bel. The chemistry between these three couples just oozed from the small screen. Many have stated the casting for Dallas was [I]near [/I]perfection and I have to agree. [/QUOTE]
