Don Juan

and who could forget dashing donnie in his pyjama bottoms running across the silver screen.....

Chris Jennings wins hands down in my book.  Tom's scenes with Julia are a real treat--it's marvelous to see something so theatrical and Gothic on a live-on-tape TV show.  And you can tell that Grayson and Don had good chemistry together.  

But with Chris, Don really got to inhabit the skin of somebody more three dimensional, and I think he improved a lot as an actor working on Chris.  He goes from being somewhat stiff and posture-y to being much more fluid and in-the-moment over the months in which he played Chris.

He did excellent work as Tim Shaw, too, a character much less likeable than Chris (though he had just cause for being cynical and embittered).

Chris Collins only had a few scenes, but Don did a beautiful job with the role.  His scenes with Chris Pennock's Dr. Cyrus Longworth are particularly well-layered and subtle.

Great topic, VAM!

Not moi dear Casper!
that is my favorite scene in NODS I always widhed I was Carolyn! what a feast!

jennifer

Hahaha Jennifer!  Well, if I were Carolyn, it wouldn't be Chris' NECK I would be feasting upon, if you know what I mean ...!

And Henry, I believe that in the 1990 interview in Fangs for the Memories, they actually asked Don whether anyone had suggested he play that scene sans pj BOTTOMS! (dreaming & sighing)

Best,  Gothick

Midnite,
It is a funny scene isnt it? You never know for sure, whether it was strictly coincidental or deliberate fun. There was some intensity on Don's part in that scene.

As Robert Plant says in Stairway To Heaven, "TEXT[... it makes me wonder.]

Great topic, VAM!

Thanks Steve. I am sure  it is the sentiment of all that I capture by saying it would have been nice to meet Mr. Briscoe.
