Omg...this guy is still gorgeous...just that voice takes me back...I love John James, both fallons were very lucky! ❤❤
I had a huge crush on John James when he starred in Dynasty. My favorite season is 3! Mark Jennings 🔥🔥
John James…… I don’t even know where to start. I had the biggest crush on him playing Jeff. In real life he seems like such a kind genuine man. So happy for him and his career and beautiful wife and family. I hope to see him in more projects. I am so glad he didn’t say he hated Dynasty, so many actors that get famous and say they hate being associated with a certain character . I feel t is a huge compliment that you were so amazing at it that you know have fans who admire you for it. Loved his stories. Fantastic interview.
His stories.
@@LRoberts-v5g like Tina Louise hated playing the part of Ginger on Gilligans Island
John James was excellent in Dynasty. Loved hearing his stories in this interview. Yet another brilliant interview, thank you Craig Bennett
John James was my big crush back then. Never missed an episode. 🥰💃🏻
He was the most handsome and sane character in dynasty. My fav
Another brilliant interview. Love John James, having followed his career for years. So much I never knew. Craig Bennett handled this chat, as he does every time with such grace, humour, empathy and aplomb. Just love this channel. Please, please keep the interviews coming.
I loved John James as Jeff in Dynasty,he was so handsome.This interveiw is wonderful and John James still looks pretty handsome today.
Ohh that smarted when all of sudden it ended. Needed lots more time. Enjoyable . Thank You .
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was so hooked on Dynasty/Colbys...
I always loved watching John James in Dynasty
So handsome! He was so good with Pamela Sue Martin
Jeff and Fallon, I enjoyed them
It’s great watching Dynasty all over again on Pluto
Yes! I'm binge watching it now on Pluto!
That voice! He seems so warm, charming and classy. Oh, and talented. Loved him in Dynasty.
I remember watching Dynasty as a kid with my mom and thinking how handsome Jeff Colby (John) was!
John James always seems a great guy in all interviews seen him...Just seems a really nice, honest, down to earth guy and so funny could listen all day to his stories :)
I love how Craig doesn’t interrupt like so many interviewers and it results in such a good flow of interesting stories. Great job!
Such beautiful hair!!!
🇬🇧 Love John James handsome and quite humble, didn't miss an episode of Dynasty. Great interview 👍
Dashing, Charismatic Actor.
Definitely was
John is Great. I Loved Dynasty.
Write the memoir, John!
John, it's a wonderful life -- and this is a wonderful interview/conversation, full of fascinating reminiscences, memorable experiences, invaluable learning, and incomparable anecdotes.
👏📻🎭📺🎦🎶🕺🎤🌐
Omg in early '90s when i was just 9 or 10 i had crush in John James. And yes he didnt change a one bit. Still handsome and his se y voice....
This man drove me crazy during his role as Jeff. He had such a good wholesome heart
...and such a hot body. 🔥🥵
John u r still as handsome and charming as ever
It's great Dynasty is free on Pluto TV now. A new generation is discovering it now.
What a brilliant, informative and entertaining interview. New Subscriber to Celebrity Drop. Craig Bennett is an excellent interviewer. Cuts to the chase, articulate, well researched and brings out the very best in the celebrities he talks to. Bravo. Please, keep these top rate interviews coming. :)
Loved this interview I loved him as Jeff on Dynasty still looks great 😊
Dynasty was a "must do" Wednesday evening event every week at my Grandma's house. She loved it, and I would go to her house and watch it with her every week. John seems like a great guy.
Thank you for your comment @warp9p659 and we agree with you - Dynasty was a show that you couldn't miss.
Great interview. Watching from the UK. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Craig Bennett, I have seen so many of your interviews (subscriber). Thank-you for letting the actors answer the question without cutting them off. You are top notch!! Love & respect John. So good to see an update with him. I didn't know he had auditioned for the character of Steven Carrington. I kinda wished he got the part🔥What an interesting and incredible career so far. He is one of the classic actors for sure. As for John's bio, I hope he does decide to go ahead and write it...and he needs to leave some blood on the page😘
Fantastic interview with John James!!! I LOVED watching John James on Dynasty and The Colby's!!!! I had such a CRUSH on John James when I was young!!!! John was SO handsome, SO well put together, and SO gracious!!!
Thank you for your comment Stephenrsm and we totally agree with you.
Terrific interview chat. John James sure is classy. Still as handsome as he was back in the day.
Dynasty Never Missed The Program. John James Was Great Actor. Nashville, To Many Tornadoes & Flooding Today & Brown Spiders Everywhere. Nashville, Years Ago, Yes A Great Entertainment Place.
26:51 - Pamela Sue Martin's departure was the saddest thing to happen to the show - and disappearing, contracting amnesia, leaving the family to think she was dead, etc - tragic. Emma Samms was cute, pretty, beautiful, etc., but the Fallon character wasn't written in quite the same way. She didn't become Pamela Sue's Fallon until the final season. Up til then, she was virtually unrecognizable - if you didn't hear somebody call her "Fallon", you never would have known who this chick is. I like Emma Samms, but also symoathized with her because she was dragged into something she probably would rather have not lived through.
Such a classy guy!
16:46 it's funny he mentions production values because the lush glowing colours were part of what really drew me into Dynasty. Gorgeous cinematography. I have this theory that the best American TV of the 80s was like a last gasp of 1950s Hollywood. Same Technicolor look, same Hayes Code style rules, same actors, writers and crew sometimes.
I waited on George Peppards wife Elizabeth Ashley when I worked in a very well known charming department store in NYC, she was lovely. John James I you were brilliant in character !! 👍
John is still so handsome.
Yet another brilliant interview. What a classy guy. Loved Dynasty. Such a guilty pleasure all these years on
Hasn’t TV changed & not for the better , the shows that we used to have once were great, & they were decent now we only have vulgar shows today ! These shows were wonderful , what a nice interview even the people of that era were dignified compared to the actors of nowadays . 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Consider though that Dynasty was considered extraordinarily vulgar and crass back in it's day. Perhaps one day we'll look back at Naked Attraction as a cosey classic of times gone by 😂
Thank you. I loved Dynasty. Love all the stories. Hope he gets his series, because I’ll watch it☺️💕
Thank you for hosting famous actor John james . I am Arabic lady subscriber to several British and American RUclips channels. When we kids at middle school we watch dynasty every evening after finishing our homes and next morning classmates talk about events of last episode. It’s really very wonderful television series .
In 1880s there are very popular American television series such as falcon crest ,Dallas, dynasty, Incredible Hulk With Arabic subtitles. We learned English at middle school . Thank you sir for reminding us of our beautiful childhood memories .
Sorry imean when we were kids and after finishing our homework . Because I wrote in hurry.
He’s still handsome
Craig, THANK YOU, you've done it again!! Fantastic interview, and John is SO classy, grounded, articulate and intelligent. I love when celebrities not only survive, but thrive. So glad I found this RUclips channel!
Captivating interview, thanks a bunch Craig for another stellar conversation. Just love Mr James' voice - rich and mellow. Had no idea he'd lived such a fascinating life.
Yet again, a thoroughly absorbing interview from Mr Bennett. Always such good questions, such great research. Mr John James was such a fave on Dynasty, and I've happened upon My Son Hunter and he is excellent as President Joe Biden, even if the story is sometimes laughable. Thanks for another exceptional interview.
Wonderful interview Craig, as always.
Heard JC say PSM left for a hoped-for Film career that never materialised 🎩
JJ is "eine coole Socke" as we say it in the german language. Remember it well when I met JJ and we talked about this and that on Dynasty. Really cool guys.
He’s still so fine!!!
He and Michael Nader were very lucky to work with the two biggest divas of the soap world - Joan Collins and Susan Lucci. Or they were lucky to work with him.
❤
I have the Dynasty boxset. John James Anderson was lucky to work with Stephanie Beacham (Sister Kate/SeaQuest DSV/ Coronation Street/Beverly Hills 9210). My favorite scene with John was when Sable slapped him.
My faves in those days as a yank living in London dinn is tee 😉Dallas n CORONATION STREET 💓
Joh James was one of those people you kinda wish was made of chocolate
Not anymore 👨🏻🦳
If he"s still alive im sure one could still get a tune from his old fiddle@@renesagahon4477
His voice reminds me of Armie Hammer's voice....So manly
Personalities aside, I think George Peppard would’ve been better as Blake. He’s far more attractive and a better fit with Linda Evans. I thought John Forsyth was not at all attractive and he seemed more like Linda’s dad. Also Peppard would’ve given Blake an edge which was obviously missing until Joan Collins joined. Forsyth could not rival Larry Hagman as a conniving high powered executive.
He said he was doing "The Coolys". The Colbys ?
Interesting that he said moving to Florida was out of the question. Wonder why?
James' big mistake, a rookie mistake, was humbling himself and introducing himself to "Mister" Peppard. He should have gone his own way and just treated him as just another co-worker - not interact with him until they had scenes together.
Phuck that. I loathe the pretentious actors with their huge egos. I live they fired him and brought him back down to earth.
Yeah, Forsythe turned out to be better in the part. @@ChrisCosat
Ah come on,people say that every day as an intro,GP was just being a prat !
John forsythe I was glad he got the part, because he never thought of himself as a star, as John forsythe said interview ,it's down to the producer or the script.
At 64 it took me almost 40 years but I’m finally better looking than he is 👨🏼🦳
I wish interviewers would ask questions not asked before . I also wish they would pick the brains and dive deeper into the behind the scenes of the show MORE than we normally hear of. The "Decline" of Dynasty was obvious when The Colbys was created -- it would be nice to hear about what the stars felt when the show was no longer fun.
John James father was legendary New York radio host Herb Oscar Anderson.

Yes, was discussed in the interview
@@Stevenspelling123 Needs to be brought to front very strong.
Was discussed within the first 2 mins of a 42 minute interview, so not sure what you’re griping about 😵💫
@@NancySellers-zb1up "Griping? Surely you jest..." Haha
John James lost me when he said “ you got to feel sorry for Hunter”
Time stamp…
That's O.K. The film was not overly sympathetic to The Biden crime family.
🥰
Has a great voice.... does he do cartoons? Voice overs?
