Death in Small Doses 1/10

Based on a well-publicized 1991 Dallas murder case, the made-for-TV Death in Small Doses begins with the death of architect Nancy Lyon (Glynnis O'Connor), who has succumbed to arsenic poisoning. The prime suspect is Nancy's frequently estranged husband Richard (Richard Lyon), who stands to collect an enormous insurance policy. Nancy's family pressures the local authorities to prosecute Richard--and never mind that virtually every person in that family also seems to have had substantial reason to wish Nancy dead. But Richard plays a trump card when he supplies evidence indicating that his wife actually committed suicide--a move that proves to be a thrown gauntlet to relentless Assistant DA Jerri Sims (Tess Harper). Filmed in 1993, Death in Small Doses did not air on ABC until January 16, 1995. The film was directed by actress Sondra Locke, best known at the time for her long association with Clint Eastwood.

Rabbitimes, is this actor your favourite actor? He played Richard in Stalking Laura!! I never heard of this case....thanks for posting! :)

[rabbitimes]

He is one of my favorites :) And I was pleasantly surprised to see him in Stephen King's Nightmares & Dreamscapes recently. My two favorite worlds came together - Lifetime movies and Stephen King!

You have to be a cruel, cold, completely unfeeling person to murder someone with arsenic. You're not just killing a person when you do that. You're torturing.

richard thomas is from paintsville kentucky.when his grandfather was dying i was one of his nurses.richard is a very kind and caring person.his whole family is.

Richard Thomas plays very good villains tho' he seems to be going against type. Those vanilla, all-American good looks with psychopathic tendencies & his low-key performances make for a particularly chilling villain.

richard thomas is really the wrong person to cast as evil. when i was younger, alot younger, i watched the waltons for a couple of seasons. he is always the good guy, john boy.

How come Richard Thomas plays so many characters named "Richard"? I sit easier for him to remember his cues that way? lol
