LONE STAR: Two Lives, Two Loves, One Con ManThe New York Times opines: "LONE STAR offers an amusing and novel television conceit, but in an age of Enron and Bernard Madoff, it takes a very persuasive actor to keep viewers rooting for a swindler. Mr. Wolk is well cast. It’s not clear how long LONE STAR can keep Bob’s phony lives aloft, and that suspense is the allure of a drama that straddles the oil rigs of Midland and the skyscrapers of Houston. Texas gave the world the repellently wicked J. R. Ewing in DALLAS and, more recently, the endearingly decent high school football coach of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. With LONE STAR, Fox offers a little of both: a con man who is wicked but endearing. "
