I really wasn't on the Dallas set much. I did three or four episodes so I didn't see too much.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Before we shot the pilot, I knew what 'Dallas' was, but I actually was too young to remember the details of the show. I didn't have my hands on the DVDs, so I YouTubed everything I could of J.R.
I didn't really watch 'Dallas' growing up, as I was a bit young and into other things, like sports.
We were all thrown together on this show very rapidly, there was casting then a few days later a meeting where we all got to read the scripts and meet each other. Literally days after that we were on our way to Dallas.
The fact is, it was a big show. We were a part of that show. Everybody watches for different reasons. There were some people who were tuning in that day to see what was going on with other characters.
It all depended on the cut. Some of them were really on the ship. Some were really on the set. Like if they had the stars for a week, the stars coming off, that was usually on the set, except if we were on location for that particular show.
Maybe I should have taken it easy on the smaller shows especially, but all in all, I have no regrets.
As a child, I watched 'Dallas' and that was my vision for my life for as long as I could remember.
There were 84 original episodes. It was rated No. 1 and No. 2 on the Fox Children's Network. We figured it was time to make it available to people who have never watched it.
I don't watch the show - only bits and pieces of all of them. The only one I sat through was the pilot.
We did 356 'Dallas' episodes between 1978 and 1991. The most memorable moment for me happened in 1980 when I got shot at the end of the third series. The rest is a blur.
