He had also been on the first four seasons of Knots Landing, but his character there was one of the show's most nondescript characters (albeit an integral part of the show's original four couples conceit).Hibi wrote: ↑March 13th, 2024, 10:03 amDidn't Houghton become a writer on the show? I wasn't happy with the replacement. The other brother too. (Snapper?) I liked the original better. I watched that show for awhile in the 70s. He seemed to make a good living on Murder, She Wrote later on. Seemingly on almost every season (up there with RIchard Beymer). How can you have any respect for someone named Wings???

Now James Houghton was a very handsome young man, but as a Yale-educated lawyer somewhat less than convincing. Let's just say that Wings Hauser was even less convincing.
As for Wings Hauser, in addition to Murder, She Wrote, I remember him chewing up scenery in the nutty noir Tough Guys Don't Die, where he got done in in the end by his character's wife, played by Isabella Rossellini. (Rossellini sure knew how to pick them in the movie....her ex-boyfriend was Ryan O'Neal and her character slept offscreen with Penn Gillette)
I actually saw that awful film, but thankfully remember little about it...
