Lee Majors Previews "Dallas" Arc, Remembers Neighbor Larry Hagman
by Matt Webb Mitovich
3/25/13

Lee Majors kicks off a three-episode arc on "Dallas" as Ken Richards, an old, pre-J.R. flame of Sue Ellen’s.

“She calls him out of the blue for some business help — and she does mention that she’d been wanting to call me for quite a while, but needed a reason to pick up the phone,” Majors previews.

As for whether their reunion will be strictly business, “Sue Ellen hints at some romanticism, but I don’t know which way it’s going.”

Regardless, could this reconnect with an old friend cure what’s been ailing the grande dame, who tumbled off the wagon when J.R. passed?

“She is drinking heavily. Every scene I had with her, she had just finished poured some vodka in her Coca-Cola,” Majors confirms. “So she is still having that problem. But that’s about all I can tell ya!”

Though this "Dallas" stint marked the first time Majors had met Gray (“We clicked right away,” he reports, “because we work the same way”), it’s not his first brush with Southfork royalty.

“Larry Hagman lived a few houses down from me in Malibu, so I’d see him on the weekends,” he recalls. “He would dress in funny outfits, like as a monk or something, and he wouldn’t talk on Sundays — because one time he lost his voice and his doctor told him to take one day and don’t talk. We thought it was silly, but we would drink and have a good time, and at least we didn’t have to listen to him!” he jokes.

Although Majors’ arc stops short of the Season 2 finale (airing April 15), “It’s wide open,” he says, for Ken to resurface during any possible Season 3.
