A five-way tie of pure excellence.jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495025947391158651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-7319620111962941762010-05-14T21:29:11.172-04:002010-05-14T21:29:11.172-04:00In the early 70's before VCR's, my grandmo...In the early 70's before VCR's, my grandmother would make audio cassette tape recordings of all the John Dixon scenes for me so that I could listen to them after school. I still have some of them. Years later, when I played them back, I was completely mesmerized.

His stage acting is just as powerful & strong as his TV performances. Next time Larry is in a play in NYC, race to get a ticket to see him! :)Greeneb2https://www.blogger.com/profile/16466719799496320519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-84129467149167397142010-05-14T19:22:15.906-04:002010-05-14T19:22:15.906-04:00I am still nervous that David Canary won't be ...I am still nervous that David Canary won't be #1, but the odds are getting better! I would have put Bryggman at #2, but glad he is ranked so high. Even though I didn't really get into ATWT until I was in high school in the 80s, my mom always watched ATWT when I was growing up, and I still remember "John Dixon" scenes even though at the time I HATED soap operas!

For my money he's THE VERY BEST MALE ACTOR IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF SOAPS!! I knew he wasn't going to make number one...he didn't have the luck at being a dual role like marvelous David Canary and unlike Anthony Geary who sometimes like to play it flashy, Bryggman was a grand master at the art subtlety. I mean Bryggman could do more with a rise eyebrow then most actors can do with 50 pages of dialogue. <br /><br />He may not have made number one but I'm thrilled he's in the top three! Well deserved!! BRAVA!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-50213490442700717032010-05-14T16:29:24.786-04:002010-05-14T16:29:24.786-04:00Larry was the best on ATWT!!

For years, I watched just because of John Dixon and Lucinda Walsh. ATWT was never the same without him. Thanks for giving him his recognition.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03819633680285577898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-868564675814972082010-05-14T15:16:24.479-04:002010-05-14T15:16:24.479-04:00I remember Larry in As The World Turns.
