Gene Barry.........Starred in the original WAR OF THE WORLDS, played Bat Masterson in a TV series and was in a long running TV series called, "Name of the Game" which was part of the MYSTERY series which also had McCloud, Columbo and McMillan and Wife.
I may be wrong, but if I am, I'm damn close........ at 62 what can you expect.

I hear Ann Robinson, his co-star in the '53 version, is also in that same scene. Waiting for the crowds to die down a bit before seeing the new one. The original flick scared the hell out of me as a kid. Wouldn't mind that feeling again.

does Dakota seem different at the end of the movie? I wonder if Cruise tried to convert her during filming?

Gene Barry is a star that dates back to the 1940's,
on TV he was the Chief of Detectives in "Burke's Law" and the magazine publisher on "The Name of the Game".
Also was the star of the 1950's version of "War of the Worlds".
To: Kirkwood
Yeah, he was quite a character. He also worked with Tex Rickard, one of the pioneer boxing promoters and the guy behind Jack Dempsey's public relations effort. Masterson was actually a sportswriter for many years, in Denver and later in NYC, which is where TR appointed him deputy marshal.

Capt -- the name of the magazine he was supposed to publish on "Name" was "People." This was a good 5-10 years before the real item came along.

You deserve the 50 answers you're going to get to this question, since the answer was in the post. :~D
And it wasn't like the post was too ~long~ to read either ;~D
To: Kirkwood
Note he wears his holster front ways which is the way Masterson wore his gun I believe. He also carried a derringer.
I remember they used to sell a Bat Masterson cap gun set. I had the Roy Rogers version.

Take the 405 to the Ventura Freeway. Take the Ventura Freeway to the Hollywood Freeway. Take the Hollywood Freeway to the Slausen Cutoff. Get out of the car and cut off your Slausen....

I had a Lone Ranger cap gun, but Bat Masterson was also a favorite show. I like Roy as well except when he sang.

Compared to most of todays shows the TV back then was 100% better. Yeah, F-Troop was silly. But how many L&W or CSI or phony reality shows can you watch. The Honeymooners were at least like a real Brooklyn couple and their neighbors. Funny, yet insightful at times.
