"Actor Larry Hagman, famous for his role as J.R. Ewing in the popular television show "Dallas," has died. Manuel Bojorquez reports."
From CBS News
Even though Larry Hagman's career was more than Major Tony Nelson on I Dream of Jeanie and JR Ewing on Dallas, he did other TV and some movies, including playing a late entry presidential candidate in the movie Primary Colors from 1998, when I think of Larry Hagman, I think of the clever and witty (I apologize for my language, prick) who could make people laugh, while being a prick, including the people he was being prickly to.

The JR Ewing character had this incredible ability to size up people he was dealing with and know exactly where they were most vulnerable and where to hit them, if he felt the need to do so. Which is I guess is a great characteristic to have in business where JR Ewing was a very successful Dallas oilman. He could be a prick and make you laugh at the same time, because when he was critiquing someone, a lot of times he was accurate and not pulling things out of hot air or making things up but simply speaking the truth about who he was talking about. Which is a great skill for anyone to have, to be able to size people up.
