While it was obvious stunt casting I also think it depends on what you see is the purpose of the storyline - was it to give Sue Ellen a potential long term interest or did they want to play up inappropriateness of the age difference? If it's the latter, they did a good job with casting Atkins. Obviously, they could've cast a 22-year-old 6'3 stud that looked fully grown up, but then again it would've potentially actually turned them into an actual potential long-term threat to JR / Sue Ellen and she wouldn't look as foolish since her hair wouldn't have towered over him.</p></blockquote><p></p>
