The Miles Colby Appreciation Thread

[Gabriel Maxwell]

Of all the screencaps I posted in the 'DYNASTY in HD' thread over the summer, I'd like to resurrect first those of that maddeningly sexy COLBYS hunk Maxwell Caulfield. The man has SEX written all over his beautiful face, not to mention that hard muscular body. So, before I go all pornographic on you, I better get down to posting the pix. Feel free to add your favorite Max shots or videos.

Great screencaps.

I guess this fan video I've made also fits this thread just fine:

Max looked exceptionally hot on the day these shots were taken:

 

[Don Howard]

He can't act.

Come on... If you're going to post something like this in an appreciation thread, then at least have the certainty to back up your opinion.

I can't comment on his other movies or series (I think I've seen Grease II but I don't remember any of it) but he was perfect as Miles Colby, and I don't mean just because of his good looks.
Not every scene was a winner, but overall he gave an electric performance.

I wouldn't say he was the best actor either but I thought he was just perfect for Miles Colby. I loved him in Grease 2 and I enjoyed him when he popped up on Emmerdale a few years ago. I also watched a few interviews with him and he seems to have changed a lot over the years. From a cocky maybe conceited young star to a lovely humble person. Something I think that came with seeing how fickle the whole Hollywood thing is. Seeing that it's all hype.

Perhaps that attitude worked in his favour when he was the star of a Big Soap.

Upcoming/aspiring actors should always watch "The Lonely Lady" before they even think about Hollywood.
as in: It Can Happen To You Too.

You know, it's really a work of art, that movie. It's basically a lousy script about someone who's trying to sell a lousy script, and then there's the possibility that someone else will turn it into an even lousier movie.
And then that's the movie you're watching.
A mind-boggling experience!

At least it isn't called "Sister dearest".

I just realised that in recent years, around Christmas, I haven’t been watching movies. Instead I’ve been going back and re-watching fan videos of The Colbys characters & interviews with some of the actors or actresses who appeared on the '80s TV series. Sad but true.

By chance today, I ‘hit’ on 3 Maxwell Caulfield videos in a row that interlinked beautifully.

Thought I’d share them with you here:

First up, is an old interview with him by Good Day!’s Eileen Prose I only saw today. ….Have just realized this interview's been posted on the Dynasty Videos thread ….but I’m going ahead and posting another copy here because it’s the very, very last bit, about Miles, that links it to the others.

Next, a scene from The Colbys, featuring Jason & Miles. I always thought the framed photo of Miles on Jason’s desk was oddly placed. It intruded too much into his work space. Yet, it wasn’t always there. Perhaps that was all symbolic of the difficult nature of their love-hate father-son relationship.

Last, a recent fan video by Old Movie Fan, this time about Miles & Sable. (Some might recall that OMF had made & posted a series of The Colbys & Dynasty trailers on the old forum several months before it crashed.) …The Miles-Sable video plays to the song “You Raise Me Up”, which is the same song (different version) another fan had chosen for an In Memoriam tribute to the late Ricardo Montalbán KSG (Zackary Powers). OMF had also made 2 Sable & Zack videos, so I suspect the song choice for the Miles-Sable video was deliberate. ….I’m sure I’ll grow to love this one. Seeing all these various scenes of mostly son and mum, back to back, makes me realise just how much of a support they were to each other. Wherever you are, Old Movie Fan, danke!

Yes, they were very good.

 

[Michael Torrance]

He can't act.

I
Don't
Care

 

[Willie Oleson]

Most people here don't really believe he can't act.

They say that because they think he can't be a good actor because he's so pretty.

 

[Zable]

Think this hunk could play modern-day Miles Colby if ever they did a new show with a white Miles Colby? Haven’t seen him in anything so I can’t say if he can act well or not. I don’t think he trained for it.

Who is he?

 

[Zable]

Clue: His mum is Stephanie Zachary.

 

[Zable]

2nd (final) clue: a common denominator in those ^^ names.

 

[Matthew Blaisdel]

He looks kinda weird.

 

[Alexis]

He looks kinda weird.

In a serial killer way.

A serial killer who will hopefully keep me alive for a few months at least while he uses me as a sex toy before offing me.
