Titans character plays it smooth
LOS ANGELES — Jack Wagner is smooth. As Jack Williams on NBC's new prime-time soap, *Titans*, he'd like to be even smoother.
Wagner is tactful about the plot development that removed King and made him kingin.
When Titans debuted, Perry King was head of the Williams clan and corporation. Younger brother Jack showed up for an episode of the character Richard's wedding to a much younger woman, and then he vanished back to Europe.
"It just brightened a horrible day," she said. "We love him."
"I don't know how that all came about," he said. "You never really know."
Script supervisor Mary Donner, who worked with Wagner on *Melrose Place*, says she learned he was cast on *Titans* while she was at the doctor's office for a mammography.
Now Richard is dead. He died — in the customary style of Aaron Spelling's glossy nighttime soaps — overdoing it with his young bride, Heather, played by Yasmine Bleeth. So Jack is back, conveniently on cue for November sweeps.
This isn't wagner's first nighttime soap. He played Dr. Peter Burns on Spelling's Melrose Place from 1994-1999. There he was the lover. Here he is the boss.
The Associated Press
He's amused to find himself marked as a veteran.
Maturity has not dented his blond, hit-the-jackpot, good looks.
"Ithe cast, they are so young," Wagner, 41, said. "Being literally 'married to Heather Locklear two years ago and coming in for my first read-through (here), these two beautiful young girls call me Uncle Jack. Is there a typo there? Do I get my walker now?"
Williams is the chief executive officer of Williams Global Enterprises and patriarch of the tempestuous family made filthy rich by the company's fast-track deals. *Titans* airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST.
"It is so not my nature to use business dialogue," he said. "I am much more a tongue-in-cheek kind of guy. I am trying to handle the dialogue so Williams is never really in search of what he wants to say when he's got his business face on. So the dialogue is clipped; the dialogue is smooth."
