“#William Shatner Reflects on ‘Barbary Coast’ & Jeff Cable’s Many Disguises<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Six years after making his intergalactic name as Captain Kirk on the original Star Trek<\/i>, William Shatner traded his green commander-class shirt for an armoire full of outfits on the 1975\u201376 series<\/a> Barbary Coast<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Shatner plays undercover government agent Jeff Cable on the Western dramedy, donning countless getups as he attempts to clean up the famed San Francisco den of thieves in the late 19th century, one fake nose at a time. \u201cOn paper, it looked really good \u2014 all those disguises, and different characters,\u201d recalls the now 90-year-old Shatner (below, with Doug McClure as Cable\u2019s reluctant partner, local casino owner Cash Conover). \u201cAnd indeed it was \u2014 for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

Take \u201cArson and Old Lace,\u201d the episode airing July 4 on the retro channel getTV. Cable tries to break up a dockside Mafia-like extortion racket dressed alternately as a ratty, blond-haired, drunken Scottish sailor; a self-proclaimed \u201cgambler, gourmet and gentleman with a woman\u201d sporting a white suit and a pencil-thin mustache; a gray-haired, top-hat-wearing Irish fight promoter; and a badly scarred, hook-nosed vagrant on the trail of the bad guys.<\/p>\n

The quick changes made days on the Barbary Coast<\/i> set as exciting as the plots. \u201cWe had Tom Burman, a terrific makeup man. The wardrobe lady would look at the makeup, rush off and come back with something. I\u2019d put it on, jump into character, and they\u2019d have been holding up shooting until I arrived,\u201d Shatner says. \u201cI\u2019d shoot that scene, then run back to the makeup room. And I did that three times a day, every day, every week, to the point of everyone\u2019s exhaustion.\u201d<\/p>\n

That pace, plus the Old West milieu, made for a strange intensity on set. \u201cI remember a moment when one of the actors told the director, [Incredible Hulk<\/i> star] Bill Bixby, \u2018I\u2019ll shoot you if I don\u2019t get more close-ups.\u2019 Bixby responded by getting a stunt man with a gun. So, filming continued with two parties having guns!\u201d<\/p>\n

When ABC canceled the series after 13 episodes, \u201cthere was a collective sigh of relief,\u201d Shatner admits. Although it took his skin weeks to heal from the prosthetics, he has fond memories. \u201cRunning to set, and everybody laughing, app<\/a>lauding or whistling, gave me more energy than I should have had.\u201d<\/p>\n
