Yes, @drizzellla , @KLevineFan and @Pearlee , more precisely,
@Pearlee, if Janssen did think he was possibly Gable's offspring, I'm very inclined to think of it as wishful thinking. Unless, he knew something from family lore, or knew that his showgirl mother had been in proximity to Gable sometime in the 30's, etc. We do know that in his younger years Clark was "active" (Judy Lewis epsode). But it is so far-fetched. Janssen lost his bio father, and then had a stepfather whose name he assumed. That was his prosaic reality. But with his actor's vivid imagination, and if he idolized Gable, he could easily have incorporated some of those mannerisms that so further the likeness-- like that funny cheek twitch or mouth twitch that he sometimes does, very wryly....
@Tique, very interesting and true-- the women are so well-written. I hadn't quite thought of it in those terms before. That's partly why his relationships with them, however transient, are often so affecting and memorable....
At least up until those final two episodes of the series @Pearlee and I have complained about -- I think the writers somewhat dropped the ball with that final relationship. It was a somewhat "opaque" character, more of a necessary plot device, maybe. But the problem was partly in the casting too, I would imagine... I'll be interested to get your take on that one, if and when we ever make it to the end!

Absolutely, @Pearlee -- that sounds the most plausible. Debbie Reynolds had that sort of "elfin" personality, and clearly loved a good story! And was a bit kooky. So there's that probability of embellishment or getting it a wee bit 'garbled', as they say!
Yes, it's funny-- person after person said how innately smart he was. He didn't study academically beyond high school, but was described as an 'autodidact' who clearly had great intellectual curiosity and ability.... such a shame it all ended far, far too soon...

Oh, it was frustrating, @twinsister -- and it isn't the only time that he'll come so agonizingly close! But lucky he got foiled, or we wouldn't have the series...
Glad you watched this one in time to clear the decks for Monday wee hours episode upcoming-- another good one.
