Editing David Selby (section)

===1980s===
Selby was nominated for a [[Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actor]] at the [[1st Golden Raspberry Awards]] for his role in the 1980 film ''[[Raise the Titanic (film)|Raise the Titanic]]'', which was met with a negative reception from critics, along with poor box-office takings.

In 1981, Selby played the villainous Michael Tyrone in the final season of the prime-time serial ''[[Flamingo Road (TV series)|Flamingo Road]]''. After its cancellation in 1982, he joined the cast of ''[[Falcon Crest]]'' as [[Richard Channing]], the illegitimate son of Jacqueline Perrault ([[Lana Turner]]) with [[Angela Channing]] ([[Jane Wyman]])'s husband Douglas Channing ([[Stephen Elliott (actor)|Stephen Elliott]]). Originally considered an antagonist, Richard gradually became more of a protagonist, and by the final season, he was the central character of the show (in part due to the health-related absence of Wyman). In all, Selby appeared in 209 episodes of the series.
