in 1990 from the Young Artists Awards. His lovable character brought families
together across the country as they sat down to watch one of their favorite
father figures and laugh over his experiences.
Designing
Women
Although he
only appeared in two episodes, Dash Goff was a fan-favorite from the TV show Designing Women. Gerald McRaney played
Dash, the ex-husband of Suzanne. McRaney played this endearing writer and
captured the hearts of the audience as well as Suzanne. Of her six ex-husbands,
Dash was her true love.

In the
long-lived television series Touched by
an Angel, McRaney played the role of Russell Greene. McRaney made 7
appearances between the years 1996 and 1999.
His
character was so popular that a spin-off series was created based around an
older version of Russell.
Promised
Land
To continue
the story of the beloved character Russell Greene, a series entitled Promised Land was created. McRaney once
again played a lovable father figure as he took his family on a cross-country
road trip. By the end of the three-year series, fans had become ever more
attached to Russell Greene.
Southland
When
McRaney first appeared in the hit television series Southland this year, the audience was thrilled. As a guest star, he
played the role of Hicks, a retired police officer. Hicks lives on a boat in
Marina del Rey. Although his character may drink too much and appear to be a
bum, he is a favorite of the audience and an example to Officer Cooper."
