Really, lucky Dallas was never the same when he left, his photo was always there

Dave B. That is awesome!!!!!! I’ve long idolized him.

that is amazing. tell us more!!

So was his presence

By far, my favorite character on the show!! A MAN’S MAN!!!

Gross understatement!

NEVER the same!

Saxon C in the living room at Southfork his picture was on the wall

Great times and great memories! It really is hard to believe that "Jim Davis" left us 42 years ago. Where has the time gone?

but...he lied to him one time.

​@@damonmcfarland9364Indeed. About his knowledge of the nationalization of the Asian wells.

He did.

Jim Davis was a OUTSTANDING actor he was Big Daddy Jock Ewing

He sounds just the same as Jock in other roles too. Watching Banacek from the mid-70s, he plays a security guard, but sounds just like jock.

@@paullee7467 He had a southern drawl.

Indeed! He was not replaceable and I am glad they decided not to bring "Jock" back during the "10th Season" and no offense or disrespect intended towards "Steve Forrest".

Ditto!

You better believe it Melissa.

@@tombstone1111 Right on!

I loved Jock. I waited for his every word on Dallas. I love to see his scenes

Jock was always my favorite character on Dallas. The show was NEVER the same after Jim Davis passed away. He was an amazing actor and a remarkable presence on the show. It took him his whole life for Davis to land his big role on Dallas. He was perfect as Jock Ewing, truly the part he was born to play. I know that the cast members thought the world of him and were heartbroken when he passed away. His spirit was always there even after he was gone.

agreed.

Ummmm...pretty sure he was the ONLY actor ever to play Jock.

@@smitchix1 I think that’s what she meant. They could not have picked a better person to portray the character of Jock Ewing. They got it right the first time by selecting Jim Davis.

They were replaced by donna reed and wes paramalee

@@somebose7395 Donna Reed sucked ass but Wes Parmalee should've been kept as Jock Ewing to bring sanity back to the show. Steve was a great actor and one of the ONLY men worthy of replacing the great Jim Davis as Jock. In the end some dumb cunt named Michelle owned Ewing Oil and fired JR. Had Wes been Jock, none of this insane bullshit would've been possible. And Clayton Farlow would've been sent packing since the real head of South Fork returned in all of his glory. A true opportunity missed.

Davis seems more easygoing and more loquacious than 'Jock', who was the tough guy.

@@tombstone1111 the strange part that Jim Davis and Steve Forrest played together once before in a episode of a night gallery called the waiting room.

As soon as the interview was over, he ripped off his costume and left. 😂😂

Via_The_Void LIKE A LION!!!!

That was caused by the years of smoking, too bad.

​@@z512345 You're an Idiot. The man has had the same sounding voice since his start in Hollywood.

It certainly would've been different however the greatest Dallas storyline was arguably the one with Jocks will and the battle for Ewing Oil so his death did provide the show with great material imo

So do I

@@rayoflight6505 agreed

it would've been much better. Jock WAS Dallas.

@@rayoflight6505 Maybe so but it was disgraceful to have a business wimp like Bobby win the contest when everybody with an IQ over 20 knows JR would've won this contest as easy as Mike Tyson beating Peewee Herman in a fight. They really screwed JR once Jock was gone. As far as I'm concerned, the show should've ended when Jock Ewing died. And for the record, his "replacement" Clayton Farlow was a total jackass and not fit to put Jock's boots on. Wes Parmalee, whether he was Jock or not (I say he was) would've been a hundred times better husband for Ellie and a much better and more interesting character that Howard Keel.

Those junket interviews are usually kept short, because of tight schedules.

Pretty interview

True indeed, I have always loved his character on Dallas.

"...that´s all". ahahahah

as three series and 1981 is dead jock is dead as scene dead of jock as

yes you can to

pasquale davino What language is that?

Would've been so much better than the Wes Parmalee storyline.

It was a sad moment JR wanted his Daddy those Boys missed they Daddy

@Joey B I've heard Jim Davis leaned more conservative politically (Hell, he might've even been a Republican for all I know) so, it would've been interesting if he would've supported President Trump had he lived!

@@thomasshort1784 Clint Eastwood also is conservative, but he recognizes what a disgusting person Trump is. I imagine Ronald Reagan and John Wayne would have felt the same. The only people in Hollywood who do support Trump are B-listers at best.

Amen!

They were the worst episodes smh

I doubt if there are any out there like him now. Bless his heart.😔❤️

Tough as a briar knot, just like my late grandfather was.

He was so poor for real ?

@@patrickpellerin5144 well i went to southfork ranch a couple of years ago and the guide was a dallas historian and that's what she said. i tend to believe her because of what she knew about the show.

His illness and ultimate death was not caused by smoking. He had multiple myeloma and the cause for it is unknown.

@@blueberrycobbler Yes, but the many years and thousands of cigarettes didn't help.

1980

His first major role, as mentioned in this interview, was opposite Bette Davis. However, it didn’t do well. Even Davis had spoken about him at the time stating she thought he would continue on in leading man roles.

He should have been Ben Cartwright instead of Lorne Greene who just didn't look like an Anglo settler of the west, more like Yehuda Goldenbergerwitz

He was actually from Missouri.

Trust me, you didn't miss much once you stopped watching. Without Jock, JR became a pinata for everyone to beat up on. They had a chance to bring Jock back with Steve Forrest and that would've really revived the series but they shit their pants over some whiny ass complaints from viewers and wound up backing off the intent to revive Jock Ewing.

J.r.ewing got alittle wild in business and romantic relationships

Scott Bashara it was canceled cause Larry Hagman passed away

@@sherryhannah9262 It was not cancelled due to Hagmans death. . It went on another season.

@@scottty43 Oh OK

@@sherryhannah9262 he was a HUGH part of the show, Im sure his death did contribute to the show eventually bein canceled.
