Part 5/10:
Ken Kigal’s Cliff Barnes emerged as one of J.R.’s primary adversaries—a man driven by a longstanding feud and a desire for justice within the competitive oil industry. His evolving relationship with the Ying family was marked by envy, rivalry, yet moments of grudging respect, adding depth to the narrative. Kigal’s career spanned stage productions like The Apple Tree and Cabaret, and business ventures such as the Old Capital Popcorn Company. He died in 2019 at age 83.
