Noble House (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Noble House was an American television miniseries that was produced and broadcast by NBC in 1988. Based upon the novel Noble House by James Clavell, it featured a large cast headlined by Pierce Brosnan as business tycoon Ian Dunross.

This was NBC's second miniseries adaptation of a Clavell novel, the first being 1980s Shogun. Both take place in the same fictional universe (see The Asian Saga) with Noble House featuring connections to Shogun and another Clavell work, Tai-Pan.

For the miniseries, the timeframe of the novel was changed; Clavell's original novel took place in the early 1960s, but the miniseries was updated to the 1980s.

Other actors appearing in Noble House include Deborah Raffin, Tia Carrere, Denholm Elliott, John Houseman, and John Rhys-Davies (who also appeared in Shogun).
