Does anybody know if the person who plays JimBob have anything wrong with him. He was so skinny in the Walton's but then when they did the reunion movies he looks like he gained more than 200lbs he was the only one who changed in the looks department.

I don't think there was anything wrong with him. He just looked like the typical skinny person whose metabolism catches up with him.

My brother was a "beanpole" until he turned 30. He has gained weight. Almost everybody does when they get older unfortunately!

When I saw the reunion, I believe it was on E!, I didn't recognize him at all. I kept thinking "why are they not saying anything about or showing David Harper? Then at the very end, they briefly showed a close-up of him. He had a heavy jacket on, and was always standing in the back. I would never have known it was David. He looked like he was about 300 pounds.
