[QUOTE="DallasFanForever, post: 281306, member: 13221"] I’ll give it a shot. I really don’t know if this scene qualifies so please forgive me if it doesn’t, but when J.R. outed Sly as the company spy. I think his acting in this scene is some of his best work. But it’s very subtle. He doesn’t get upset with her, he doesn’t fire her, he doesn’t make threats, when quite honestly I expected all of the above. But the best part of the scene to me is when they’re talking about Cliff and she asks JR if he’s gonna set him up. And his response is that he set himself up. Watch how he delivers that line. Watch his eyes carefully. Any anger or hurt he may feel towards Sly is all gone with that line as you can see him redirecting it all towards Cliff. It’s a great scene between JR and Sly, definitely their best together. And I think it’s a scene that often gets overlooked in the series. I’m not sure if it qualifies as mundane really but my point is it was a mundane JR compared to what we were used to seeing. His calmness makes the scene what it is. Larry played it perfectly imo.
