Here’s late, great “Dallas” star Larry Hagman in one of his final roles — as a Costco sample salesman!
The beloved actor will be on CBS’s “I Get That a Lot,” a hidden-camera show featuring celebrities as Everyday Joes and the double-take reaction they get from confused passers by.
The segment with Hagman, who lost his battle with cancer on Nov. 23, is set to air at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, ETOnline reports.
Hagman went over the top, swaping a hairnet for his cowboy hat. The actor even teased up his crazy, bushy gray eyebrows.
“You look like one of the characters … J.R.,” said one shopper at the Santa Clarita, Calif., Costco.
“I wouldn’t be working here if was J.R.,” the actor comically shot back.
“That’s true,” the amused shopper replied.
Hagman was dishing out samples of BBQ sauce, and some customers kept coming back for seconds, just to have a second look at the disguised actor.
“You really do look like Larry Hagman,” said another shopper, who then turned to her pal to remark: “Remember ‘I Dream of Jeannie?’ ”
Producers said they were surprised at the generational span of those who recognized Hagman, best known for “Jeannie” to both original and new “Dallas.”
“We have two worries when we do the show. One is that everybody will recognize them and the other is that nobody will recognize them,” executive producer Eric Schotz said. “[Hagman] was the perfect fill. We had the perfect amount of people that knew him.”
Hagman, 81, is set to appear in five episodes of TNT’s “Dallas” remake this season.
Writers plan to write off J.R. with a funeral farewell to the hated oilman.
