I'm a bit late with my suggestion. But maybe you could have us list other movies/tv-shows by the cast?
Like for instance a top ten Victoria Principal, Linda Gray, Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy, Charlene Tilton, Steve Kanaly etc list.
I am sure lots of us have watched our favorite stars in lots of other things too and since the bulk of their work is not on the silver screen they might not qualify for the movie top ten that we're doing over in the movie section... ;)

I do intend to make movie top tens for BBG and Howard Keel though and possibly Jim Davis.

Then as for voices, I don't know I haven't really given it much thought...

Nonsense, it's never too late for suggestions.

Great idea.

Do you mean a separate ten for each actor or list them altogether?

I know I couldn't make a ten for each actor, but I'm happy to do that if the majority want to go with it.

Then as for voices, I don't know I haven't really given it much thought...

Well, you got a good week to ponder all about it :D

Actually I meant a separate top ten for each actor. I might not get ten movies/tv-shows of all of them but I could easily get a couple of movies and I'm sure many other fans could too. I mean surely @Sarah must be able to list ten other movies/tv-shows with Linda? ;)
 
Favourite voices - prefer the mens, what a pity james Earl Jones and Morgan freeman werent in Dallas!

  1. barbara bel geddes - soft and gentle but could raise it when she wanted too!
  2. Howard keel - a strong deep, baritone
  3. steve Forrest - what a fab voice
  4. John randolph -Miss Ellies divorce lawyer Lincoln hargrove - have loved him and his voice since i watched Serpico
  5. larry Hagman
  6. patrick Duffy
  7. ken kercheval
  8. Jim Davis
  9. John Beck
  10. Victoria Principal

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

Well suit yourself but it will be more work for you to compile that. ;)
Also I think it would be harder to list one actors work above another actors work than to look at each actor individually.

Come to think of it and after having a quick look at IMDB I can list 10 other movies/tv-series with Linda, Victoria, Charlene, Patrick & Larry.
I also get 7 titles for Steve, 5 titles for Susan, 5 titles for Priscilla, 4 for Audrey, 3 for Sheree and 2 for Ken.

I agree, I would find it difficult coming up with a top ten even including all the cast members. I'm a Dallas fan but I haven't felt compelled to actively seek out shows/movies that the actors starred in. I could probably name five or six.

I liked the tv-show Orleans (Larry Hagman), shame it was cancelled.
And then there was the disaster movie Victoria's Hairdo...I mean, Earthquakeo_O...and Models Inc and Flamingo Road (and guest-appearances on Knots Landing:))

As some of you already know, I could easily do a Top Ten of all the main cast of Dallas. Just say when and where. :dance:

This is a difficult one as I've never really thought about which voices I liked but here goes:

1. Wes Parmalee/Ben Stivers
2. Angelica Nero
3. Jock Ewing
4. Aunt Lil Trotter
5. Andy Bradley
6. Harris Ryland
7. Digger Barnes (Keenan Wynn version)
8. Dagmara Conrad (I think that was her name, she was Pam's therapist)
9. Judith Ryland
10. Herbert Styles

I would have included the guy in the asylum that JR accused of cheating (he had a great soothing voice) but I couldn't remember his name.
Unusually for a top 10, I've included something from New Dallas. :eck:
