Michael Beck should have gotten an Emmy for this!


This NBC mini series was the top rated movie in 1984!
It must have been shown in February, as that is sweeps month, and they usually show big drawing dramas and the like during that time.

I did not know Michael Beck at the time as an actor~ sorry about that~~

So when i saw him in this character, about the most evil-est person in the world , i envisioned Oscar calling his name someday.

Imagine my surprise when i purchased Xanadu many years later, and lo and behold, he's the sweetest guy on earth! Sonny Malone!

No wonder he took this role....... probably to off-set the Sonny Malone character!

Well anyway, Michael Beck is a good actor, and hopefully he'll get a role that will catapult him to either Emmy or Oscar~~

good luck to him, he deserves it!

HOW I AGREE! He stole the show big time! I just watched this again, on VHS, over the weekend, and now I remember why I had a crush on him for a year afterward. What magnificet talent! And what happened to him??? Too great to be famous, I guess.....
