He was a good actor. We liked Bat Masterson and Burke's Law back in the day. Prayers for his family.

Another good guy and class act leaves us. I loved Bat Masterson and all of his shows. Handsome dude, too.

Gene Barry; Burke’s Law, the epitome of suave.
Thunder Road revenuer...RIP.
“We all have to go, sooner or later”: Burkes Law. Did his Rolls have a police light and siren?
RIP.
I am watching the original right now in respect, a real classic War of the Worlds.
Dr Clayton Forrester will be missed.
I had no idea he was 90.
RIP, Mr. Barry.

Back when the West was very young There lived a man named Masterson He wore a cane and derby hat They called him Bat, Bat Masterson. A man of steel the stories say But women's eyes all glanced his way A gambler's game he always won They called him Bat, Bat Masterson. The trail that he blazed is still there No one has come since to replace his name And those with too ready a trigger forgot to figger On his fighting fame. So in the legends of the West One name stands out from all the rest The man who had the fastest gun They called him Bat, Bat Masterson.
I heard he was a lefty, but War of the Worlds will always be one of my favorite movies.
He was in the Tom Cruise remake, too, at the end.
He co-starred in the original pilot for the “Colombo” TV series. It was a long episode titled “Prescription: Murder.” I have it on DVD, and I’ll watch it tonight in his honor.
Crap, I forgot to pick up my film.
Some lines just stay with you.....
Trying to picture Barry in the remake.
Remember the scene?
Final scene. He and the girl from the original movie played Tom Cruise’s ex-wife’s parents. No lines, just standing at the door.
Gene Barry: Deep-voiced, debonair TV and stage star, has died
They called him Bat, Bat Masterson.
