Harrison Ford made the long-awaited jump to TV to star as Jacob Dutton in “1923,” in part for the opportunity to reunite with Helen Mirren for the first time since 1986’s “The Mosquito Coast.” For fans, Ford’s role as the Montana commissioner of agriculture is indispensable to “1923,” and 42% of the roughly 3,700 Looper readers who responded to our exclusive survey selected him as their favorite character. Mirren’s Cara Dutton racked up 15% of the vote to come in third place overall. Two more female characters, Teonna Rainwater (Aminah Nieves) and Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer), a British woman who enters into a whirlwind romance with Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar), tied for fourth place with 11% each.
And speaking of troubled World War I vet Spencer Dutton, 22% of voters chose him as their favorite, making him the second-most loved character on “1923” thus far. Those who voted for Spencer seem to have anticipated his potential rise within the Dutton family. When “1923” returns on February 5, the latter half of the season will reportedly focus on Spencer’s return to Montana from Africa, where he has been traveling. “It’s a love story, from my point of view,” said Sklenar (via The Hollywood Reporter). “Commitment to self, commitment to partner, commitment to family, to your partner, to your purpose.”
