Ian McShane, who played the drunken British journalist, Philip Rule, in
”War and Remembrance,” will be showing up on ”Dallas” soon.
Slightly bemused, McShane says that he`ll play a filmmaker hired to shoot J.R.`s life: ”Kind of Sue Ellen`s last revenge.” McShane only appears in 10 episodes, but he isn`t lacking for work.
In February, he`ll star in PBS` ”WonderWorks” as Charlie Chaplin`s father in ”Young Charlie Chaplin.” Next summer, he`ll do the one-man show
”The Importance of Being Oscar” at the Pasadena Playhouse.
McShane moved to Los Angeles in 1975 to be closer to his kids, who were living there with his ex-wife.
Those who liked McShane in ABC`s ”War and Remembrance” will have a chance to see him in Part 2. ”I come back in the beginning of the next part and then go off in a drunken haze.”
