"Bat Masterson", a fictionalized recounting of the life of the real-life U.S. Marshal, gambler, and gunman, was broadcast by NBC-TV from 1958 to 1961. (In 1990 Barry recreated the role of Bat Masterson for two episodes of "Guns of Paradise" along with Hugh O'Brian as Wyatt Earp and the following year in "", also with O'Brian as Wyatt Earp.) In his next TV series, "Burke's Law", Barry played a millionaire homicide investigator who was chauffeured in his Rolls Royce as he solved crimes. This series was broadcast on ABC-TV from September 20, 1963, to May 5, 1965. For his performance in it, Barry won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in 1965. In 1965–66, the final season of the series, the title of the show changed to "Amos Burke, Secret Agent". In 1994 a revival of the "Burke's Law" series returned to television for two seasons on CBS. Barry again played in the title role, this time as a widower working with his son Peter (Peter Barton). According to his co-star Gary Conway, who played Det. Tilson in the original series, the two had a lot of fun, on and off camera, despite having some difficulties with each other. After Conway left the show, he remained friends with Barry until his acting mentor's death. Barry's third TV series was called "The Name of the Game", in which he played the sophisticated publisher of a family of magazines, and he was one of three lead characters. The other two lead actors were Robert Stack and Tony Franciosa, who rotated with Barry week by week as the primary character in each week's program. This series was shown by NBC from 1968 to 1971. One of the magazines that Barry's character published was called "People", several years before the actual "People" began publication. Shortly before the filming of "The Name of the Game" series began, Barry played the villain—a wealthy psychiatrist— in "Prescription: Murder", the two-hour pilot episode of the TV series "Columbo." In 1972, Barry starred in the ITV television series "The Adventurer", along with Barry Morse and Catherine Schell. He played Gene Bradley, a government agent of independent means who posed as a glamorous American movie star. It was this show that sealed Barry's reputation for being difficult to work with. Through interviews with Catherine Schell and some of the others on the cast of the Adventurer (also on the DVD), it was revealed that Barry (being of medium height) did not like anyone being taller than he was and in one case, Stuart Damon was fired from the show by Barry refusing to work with him as Damon towered above Barry in height.
