"I have done a series in the '60s, '70s and '80s"
About this Quote
The phrasing matters. He doesn’t name the shows, because he doesn’t have to. If you know, you know: the era of network monoculture when a single series could turn an actor into a household constant. By anchoring his identity to decades rather than titles, Majors is aligning himself with television’s old power structure, when longevity itself was proof of relevance and when career narrative was shaped by programming schedules, not personal brand management.
The subtext also carries a quiet defense. In an industry that loves the comeback arc, Majors frames his career as uninterrupted viability. He’s not chasing prestige; he’s asserting work. The line reads like a preemptive rebuttal to the unspoken insult actors of his generation often face: that TV fame is disposable, that you’re only as current as your last role. Majors answers with time. Not timelessness - time logged, survived, and cashed into cultural familiarity.
