| Message | I'm 67, and I'd never heard of Joe Don Walker (most actors just don't interest me)until tonight when I saw him on a '69 episode of "Big Valley," playing the role of a Modoc American Indian. He was stunningly and surprisingly awesome -- so masterful with blends of inflection, demeanor, pace and timing. So authentic as opposed to the repulsive fakeness of "Big Valley" sets, costuming, etc. Rarely do I react as I did in response to Joe Don's acting. He was real and compelling. Glad to see Joe Don's a Texan like I am. Now I've got to find other productions that he has strengthened. Just felt like I'd share a few thoughts. Thanks for this website. |
