Dallas Actors

[ericpolli1]

Which Dallas actor remained popular after Dallas. In my opinion I think Patrick Duffy had a steady popularity with Step By Step and Larry Hagman in roles like Jack Jones in Nixon and Gov Fred Picker in Primary Colors. Which Actors do you think were the most popular after Dallas and the least. Please Post.

I agree that LH and PD have remained sort of popular since Dallas. I also think that VP and PP have done quite well after Dallas.

As for the rest I can't remember seing anything of them since Dallas

Here are some minor characters in Dallas who went on to success.

Lou Diamond Phillips
Chazz Palminteri
Brian Dennehey
Brad Pitt
James Cromwell

Three of those were nominated for Oscars after appearing on Dallas.

But of the main ones, I would say Duffy had the biggest success due to Step by Step.

For the most unpopular after Dallas I would say that Linda Gray even though I think she was the best Actress of Dallas hasn't done much besides her role in Melrose Place and Models INC. Also Ken Kercheval hasn't done anything either has Charlene Tilton until lately she has done some work.

Sheree J. Wilson. She was my favorite on Dallas and she is the best part about Walker Texas Ranger. OK so Walker may not be a critics favorite but it does have a very loyal audience. Hey, and since 90210 is no longer on her character, Alex, is currently the longest running female character on TV. You may not hear about her all the time but after being on TV, in two popular series for almost 15 years she seems to be a sucess to me.

I'm pretty sure Linda Gray also made a cameo appearance in the film "Oscar," which starred Sylvester Stallone. Incidentally, Chaz Palminteri played a supporting role as well. Small world.

Ken Kercheval played Jeannie's love interest in the "I Still Dream of Jeannie" movie, in the absence of Larry Hagman. I wonder if the producers picked Ken because of his connection to Larry on Dallas.

Charlene Tilton had a small role in "Problem Child 2".

Oblong,
Who did Lou Diamond Phillips play on Dallas?
Thanks

[ericpolli1]

Linda Gray did play Roxanna in Oscar. She is in the last 15 minuts. She has a decent role in the movie.

[Oblong]

Not sure if it was the dream season or not but during the period when Sue Ellen was at her absolute lowest, Lou Diamond Phillips played a street thug who mugged her. It was a bit part. He did acknowledge it in an interview.

Victoria Principal will also gain popularity with this new series Titans I hope.

Looking at this thread now in 2006 id say Larry & Linda have proved their longevity and popularity ;)

I agree that Sherre J.Wilson, acting wise had the most successful career. I loved her on Walker, hated her on Dallas. But as for popular, I think Larry has that in the bag. Popular to me means, "known, a hit with the public" . He in my opinion wouldn't even have this distinction if it weren't for the, Who Shot JR story.
As for success, that's a different story. Victoria has them beat by a mile. Of all the actors on the show, she's created an empire of her own worth 100 million bucks. To me she even beats them acting wise, she did a dozen or so movies once she left Dallas. Whether or not the Dallas audience who hated her for the dream stuff watches them or not doesn't matter. Quite a few of them were pretty good. Plus she's written 4 best selling books.
The only movie I have ever seen PD in is Enola Gay. I've never seen LH, LG or CT in a movie at all. Not even by accident. I wouldn't have even seen PD in the one mentioned except I'm a history buff and it's about WWII.
Popular or not, Victoria sure is a busy woman.
