As a rule, I don&#039;t really like GREASE 2 because it&#039;s merely a reversing of the first movie, and it&#039;s just not as iconic.

I&#039;d admit that Maxwell and Michelle Pfeiffer were &quot;pretty&quot; together.&nbsp;

On the flipside, I think Maxwell was pretty good as Miles on THE COLBYS, which is arguably his best-remembered performance. Of course, he was never going to win an Emmy or anything, but he seemed to not only &quot;fit&quot; but also &quot;get&quot; Miles. He understood who Miles was and how he operated in the world. Miles liked fast cars, good-looking women, and riding polo horses. Maxwell was good to fit the bill of James Dean-type TV knockoff and I enjoyed I&#039;ve seen of his work on THE COLBYS thus far (which isn&#039;t too much). 

I&#039;ve often wished that Miles would&#039;ve made a full-time return to DYNASTY after THE COLBYS was cancelled, but I&#039;d guess that the producers had gotten fed up with his antics and just didn&#039;t bother.
