Not happy with the acting jobs being offered to him, Ford became a self-taught professional carpenter to better support his wife and two small sons before his break through role in American Graffiti. Hagman also directed several episodes of this show, but never enjoyed his time on the series; he thought of himself as a serious actor, so Jeannie's silliness was never satisfactory.
