Larry Hagman's Career and Biography

Just watching Larry Hagman in his two most famous roles, as lovable astronaut Tony Nelson on I Dream of Jeannie and scheming oil man J.R. Ewing on Dallas, should convince anyone of his versatility as an actor. In a career that spanned over 60 years, Hagman had experience on stage, screen and, most successfully, on television, where he was, more often then not, the leading man. A character actor in movies, he played a wide variety of roles, among them a nervous Russian interpreter in Fail-Safe, an abusive alcoholic playwright in The Group, a down on his luck son in Harry and Tonto, a hilariously incompetent Colonel in The Eagle Has Landed, and a decent but flawed presidential candidate in Primary Colors.
