[QUOTE="darkshadows38, post: 366922, member: 19"] i've seen Davis in some films and he was simply awful in them and i've seen in him films where he was fine. i dunno what Davis thought of his Performance and i didn't think he was good in Winter Meeting (1948) by than her films were flopping like Winter Meeting was a flop and in the last couple of years of the 40's her films were flopping Sunset Blvd. (1950) wasn't that the one she was in? that was her biggest hit in years there and the best script she ever read she always said too. but i don't think Jim Davis was a brilliant actor as i said there were roles he was good in and other roles were he was bad. personally there were times on Dallas i thought he was awful but than you had some parts he was really good such as when he did that Scene with Miss Ellie when she was going to have surgery. he was good in that scene i think. sometimes i think it depends on who is the director and if the script is tight and good writing is abound. it also helps if the actor/actress gives a damn about the role and the script too, i do think Davis loved the show though but each director is different and some can get magic from it's cast like William Wyler for example from Bette Davis. but with a show like Dallas good acting and bad acting regardless who in the scene had in it and it had a good script. a good director can get a good performance out of it's cast and Dallas didn't always have that i don't think. kinda reminds me of Dark shadows when it went Full supernatural they started to have the cast in certain scenes ham it up as much as possible and they'd get grades for that & that didn't always help a Performance it hurt i think. kinda how like Victoria Principal could be good really good on Dallas but than she could also in some scenes be really bad too it really varied its' weird how that happens sometimes.
