Ian McShane Likely To Return To Series TV On NBC Soap KINGS!!
I am – Hercules!!
“Dallas” vet Ian McShane has been cast in the pilot for “Kings,” a primetime soap likely to find its way onto NBC’s fall schedule.
The contemporary saga, brainchild of writer-producer Michael Green (“Smallville,” “Everwood,” “Jack & Bobby,” “Heroes”), is a retelling of the story of King David.
McShane's many TV credits also include "Lovejoy" and "Deadwood."

Can we set up a donation fund system to get Deadwood back on fuc

I mean what the fuck?
-
McShane is a great actor, but I want him to play Swearengen in everything he gets hired for from now on. I don't care if it's a comedy, romance. or talk show.
-
never were two words used on TV so poetically so frequently
-
I know its juvenile, but Ian McShane swearing on Deadwood used to crack me up! I can't wait to hear King David drop the C-bomb on a regular basis! I just hope we can get a movie with him and Samuel Jackson. The word "Motherfucker" will be taken to new heights.
-
that was some great Swearengen insight.

that was some great Swearengen insight.
-
we will see if McShane can survive mediocre dialog.
-
Is one of the most compelling characters of the last twenty years.
-
'Dakota, I came to the hospital as soon as I could'
'Oh Cruz, I knew you would. My father is already here. Cruz, meet Al'.
'Are you the fucking cocksucker what's been putting the fucking bone to my one pride and fucking joy?'
'Mr Swearengen, sir?'
'Fucking call me Al'. -
Just want to throw out my 2 cents and say "BRING BACK DEADWOOD!". Andddddddd I'm out!
-
I can call you Betty and Betty when you fucking call me, call me fucking Al.
-
Is finished. A great series while it was on. Probably one of the more realistic westerns. It is done. I really think it went out on top. McShane has always been a solid actor, I hope this role does him well.
-
Am I wrong to have really enjoyed the old Lovejoy series, especially series 1? That was feel-good telly right there. Also, the time his main rival's daughter bobbed up out of the pool in the nack was quite an influence in my formative years.
-
Trust.
-
Here we go again. The tiny Jewish minority in the Us has yet ANOTHER Jewish centric show. Isn't it bad enough that there are more Jews on Tv than Blacks and Hispanics? That those Blacks and Hispanics are primarily criminals.
-
"Go FUCK yourself!"
Long live Deadwood. -
that Veronica Mars' Vincent Van Lowe is in REAPER playing a gay demon? Surely that alone should get it some love!
-
McShane's Swearengen was incredible, he inhabited that character absolutely. In real life he's quite a 'luvie' (as we Brits say) which makes the portrayal even more impressive imho.
-
I can only envision Richard Gere prancing around in a toga get-up.
-
Oh my God! You've opened my eyes to the International Jewish Conspiracy! I was wondering why the US supports Israel! Have you read the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"? It's a great beach read.
-
Pandas-R-Us, no need to apologize--I'm also a big fan of Lovejoy, unapologetically. It was charming, sly, sweet, and smart, and is still refreshing to watch to this day. (Thank goodness for the took-way-too-long American DVD sets that finally started emerging last year.)McShane will always be underrated here, but I always enjoy watching his work. If this new show is as smart as he deserves, it'll probably be too good for the average dumb American, but maybe some wicked fun while it lasts.

So it's a less-funny version of Joseph Heller's "God Knows?"
by filmicdrummer17
If you haven't read that book, you should. From the author of Catch-22. It's basically King David's memoir.
-
Ah, good to know it's not just me! I know Lovejoy was popular over here but I wasn't sure how much of a showing it had in the US.
-
The last great religious movie was in 1956 (sorry, Mel). Let it go!
I love me some Deadwoord! Let's get back to South Dakota. -
It's cold and its broken indeed
-
Interested as to why you would list "Dallas" before his obviously better "Deadwood" and even "lovejoy?"
-
Somebody wanna fuckin' tell me why this talkback ain't fuckin' number one? Anybody got a clue in those empty spaces you hoopleheads call a fuckin' brain? Have I been damned by the fuckin' Almighty to fall short of those title spammin' cocksuckers?'Cause we're talking about Ian McShane here. Albert Swearengen.Fuckin' me.
-
A&E. Is it showing anywhere now. Swearengen is a work of genius iconic and sublime. And I'd love to see Al kickin ass Old Testament style. Really to bad this isn't on HBO. It'd like Rome with the fucking thing Rome was missing Al fucking Swearengen. McShane would have been an awesome Roman general or political leader. defintely and awesome ancient King.
-
Enough said
-
If you want to reference his work on a primetime soap and/or '80s tv, you could have said "War & Remembrance".Other casting: Hulk Hogan as Goliath "You'll be sorry you ever messed with the Philistines, brother"
-
Tv will never be as good as HBO is that we'll never see a blowjob monologue. Unless it's on BigBrother.
