J.R. Ewing is one of my all time favourite TV villans and Larry Hagman did a great job at playing him. The man you loved to hate. He made Dallas.

I also liked him in "I dream of Jeanie" although admittedly I was more distracted by Jeanie in that series!

May he rest in Peace.

A great actor - especially considering he was in real life the opposite of JR (a gentleman, an environmentalist and a lifelong liberal leftie).

I heard that first thing this morning. He was great as JR. Probably one of the best characters ever on tv. He was the opposite of his character in real life. He was married to the same woman since the 1950s. That's some going in the acting industry. I only saw one of the new episodes. They say it was during filming he died. Even though he's dead no doubt they will write a few twists in his will and one or two dirty deals will come out!

I said i wouldn't bother watching the new dallas series but i did watch it mostly because JR he was brilliant R.I.P larry.

R.I.P to a legend of the small screen, in the original and new Dallas he dominated the screen with his presence, grew up with Dallas and watched every episode of the new one, it wouldn't have worked with out him in it,
