“The role of Ray Krebbs was supposed to be a temporary one. I was only hired for a few episodes, but the character became popular with the viewers.”

“I was a radio operator. A lot of my friends who I went to officer candidate school with were not so lucky. They were platoon leaders and got killed.”

“Being on a show like Dallas for so long, it becomes a part of your identity. People on the street still call me Ray.”

“I get a lot of mail from people who say, ‘You’re my favorite character on the show. You’re the only one who is real.’”
