Here's something I stumbled upon. Some interesting quotes here. 30 Best Jack Lord Quotes With Image | Bookey
Of course, Steve McGarrett is my favorite. He always chose what was right and that was a wonderful model for me when I was growing up.
I also like Stoney Burke after watching that series. Stoney had the same moral compass that McGarrett had, but I saw his character as a bit looser and more carefree, probably because of on his profession riding in rodeos. He had good friends and they had fun together and joked around when they weren't working. That was nice to see. Stoney was a good man and helped others whenever he was able.
Marie Keane posted the following in the Guestbook:
"Season 1 Episode 19 was the saddest one but where we see great acting from Jack Lord so sad"
(Once Upon a Time, part 1)
That's hard to say. Apart from Steve McG. (of course) I like Jack playing bad guys/mentally unbalanced characters because Jack could show more of his acting qualities. For example: Coaley Tobin ("Man of the West"), Willie Down ("The True Story of Lynn Stuart") or Dan Brookes ("The High Chaparall") , Clay Renton ("Bonanza")
H50, of course. But I really like him in "Williamsburg: The Story of a Patriot," too -- especially in the last scene, when John Fry is talking to his son, Robert, who is about to join the revolutionary forces against England. He tells Robert that he isn't sure he will have a legacy to come home to. That statement really made me think about the great risk the colonists took when they went to war against the great power that England then was. It really was an all-or-nothing venture.
