Larry Hagman has been diagnosed with cancer but says he will continue to shoot the new series of Dallas.
The 80-year-old actor, best known for playing JR Ewing in the 1980s series Dallas, didn't specify what type of cancer he had but said it was a "very common and treatable form".
"As JR, I could get away with anything – bribery, blackmail and adultery. But I got caught by cancer," he said in a statement to America's TV Guide.
The actor is currently working on a new Dallas series for TNT and says he has no plans to pull out because of his illness. » | Lisa O'Carroll | Saturday, October 15, 2011
