Okay, so it is the mid-sixties and you are casting a
brand new television series about the Starship Enterprise that is going to be
called "Star Trek (1966)."
This guy named William Shatner
has auditioned for the part of series star Captain James Kirk, but you think
that he's too "over the top" and campy in his performance. You want
someone more dramatic and with more acting skills (dramatic, romantic,
physical, and comedic abilities required). Which actor from that era would you
choose?
Note: He has to be at least 30 years old (and under 60)
and active in Hollywood by 1966.

figure for his day, was very capable of using his fists instead of his weapon
to control those resisting his authority, and was reputed to be an expert with
a pistol. He showed no fear of any man. His deputy Jimmy Cairns described Wyatt
as "the most dependable man I ever knew; a quiet, unassuming chap who
never drank and in all respects a clean young fellow". Wyatt's manner,
though friendly, suggested a quiet reserve...
