OK, what's your favorite? For me sometimes it's the episode I'm currently watching. But I think Bluebeard has to be one, as well as the Portuguese sailor in Samurai. I tend to like RM with facial hair, I think. Though a Jim's Jewel, I think Artie looks hotter with a 5 o'clock shadow, as in Skulls. For comic disguises, I like the janitor in Circus of Death and the salesman in Cadre. Most importantly, with those disguises, he's always there to aid Jim. But I have a HUGE question: where, or where, does he get the costumes when they are far away from the train?  |

ummm wow... uhhh I'll have to pay more attention to when Artie decides to don a disguise to be able to attempt to answer that!
One of my favorites is the Portuguese sailor in Samurai for sure!!!!!!! ;D And yes, I agree with you Calgal as an Angel, I think Artie looks hotter with the 5 o'clock shadow ;D

There are some instances where it's obvious Artie probably obtained or brought his disguises from the train. But other times, just out of the blue he has makeup, wigs, facial hair, clothes, etc.
I don't know if it could be called a "disguise," but I like Jack Maitland.

I've seen him with a kit twice for far: Circus of Death while on the train, and Cadre while at the wagon -- two different boxes.
But yeah, I've wondered where he would have such a kit when he's on horseback -- saddlebags? hidden in bedroll? secret compartment in saddle itself?
Favorite disguises:
Aaron Addison, especially when he then turns it into Fez Dude,
Bluebeard, because of the Bored! speech, and man could he hold his liquor!
Bum in Skulls, because yeah, I like the five-o'clock-shadow too!
Arturo Caruso del'Artemo, the Italian tenor baritone,
Claude Achille Antoine Reynard, because of the hand gesture,
Circus of Death janitor, partly because of him moving effortlessly into and out of character, partly because of the lines he gets away with by being 'hard of hearing'
Col Doyle in Sedgewick Curse, because of how different he can make himself look simply by jutting his chin forward,
the Count in Burning Diamond, first because of his ad libs during the fight, later because of his expressions when the Girl helps him out by removing the mutton chops and putty nose,
the Crown Prince, because I want to uh, help him get warm again,
the jailbird drunk in Arrow,
the Irish freightman with both belt and suspenders,
Felix Munez in Falcon,
his Chaplinesque Grant in Big Blackmail,
Hallelujah Harry, so smarmy,
drunken Hamlet,
Henri Pichot,
the Indian Rope Trick fakir,
Jeremiah P Threadneedle, who travels in women's corsets,
the wonderful, wonderful Jewish tailor,
Joe the piano player,
Jonathan Ashley Kingston, 'your witness'
Kelton, for whom the customer is always right,
Mardi Gras Hamlet, with his little friend,
P McGuffey, tiddly on his own wares,
Gaston Larousse, convincing the curator he had bought bunches of fakes,
Mojave Mike, teller of lame jokes,
Mr Lindsey, 'Thank you -- thank you very much'
both Mexican disguises in Spanish Curse,
the railroad worker in Double-Edged Knife, getting to see him put on the make-up,
the old salt in Headless Woman, getting to see him make the sketch,
Pancho, since as long as he's got the girl on his lap, he might as well kiss her,
Paolo Martinez the Portuguese sailor, my favorite scene of him flirting so far,
Pierre Gaspard, for so many reasons,
Doctor Neinkindorf, who suddenly becomes much taller,
the repairman in Kraken,
the reverend in Skulls, preaching his own funeral,
the rabble-rouser in Gruesome Games,
the drunken Swedish sailor in Watery Death,
the stevedore in Deadly Blossom,
Uncle Hansi,
Uncle Moe.

Wow Niecie!! You named almost all of them there! Haha---You must have them written down somewhere. I couldn't have remembered all the disguise names he came up with in most of those episodes!! Good memory there!! ;D

You mean in Gruesome Games, I think. Artie has been snooping in a disguise as a bar rat (or something) and he makes that speech. He's good at making distracting speeches.
I do like Poncho, and that whole scene. ;D

I like the clown! Before you all jump me, let me explain!  I am not afraid of clowns but I have a HUGE dislike for them and avoid them if at all possible! But, I KNOW it's Artie, therefore I don't hate it. He acts kinda cute, almost bashful at one point  |

I gotta agree with MissRedhead here and admit that the hottest Artie disguise for me is Lighting McCoy, all dressed in black with those long legs, that five o'clock shadow, gun hung low, whew....is it getting a little warm in here??

HA!!! Cheater!!!!  I remember seeing that link before--It's a great one with 127 pics of all his disguises. I don't think they missed a single one there. I bet that took forever to gather up from all the episodes to complete. Great site!! |

Where does Artie get his disguises? Might as well ask how the rips in Jim's clothes mend themselves or how his hair is perfect after he's fought 6 guys! Well, okay, the disguises are part of the plot and Jim's magic clothes and hair aren't. You could ask how Jim always has exactly the right gadget up his sleeve. So by the same method, Artie plans in advance exactly where he'll need to plant his disguise so it's there for him!

I watched TNOT Cadre this past week, and simply loved the scene where the baddies have taken Jim and left Artie for dead. Once they ride off, Uncle Artie looks around, hops up, and unbuttons his prison guard jacket to expose the bullet proof vest underneath. Love the body language of his hand (I often run scenes back and play them over just to watch what Ross is doing with his hands) as he plucks the two bullets out and tosses them away. Then he goes about the business of changing the prison wagon into a travelling emporium (note the British spelling of travelling, 'cause his disguise is Cockney) and pulls a stack of clothing out of the back of the wagon along with a small kit with disguise stuff and mirror, pom-pomming to himself while the playful Artie music is playing. Just lovely!
And his 'the customer is always right' dialogue with the Girl later on, building up his wares, then instantly agreeing they're trash when the Girl doesn't like them.

Ah, Niecie....I do believe that you are talking "Artemus"...."Aw, I cheated,....I used force.." Hey great website! And how long did you know about this website before sharing it with us? Niecie pal......buddy.....'ahui mai'a  ;D Ace, mon amie, I was hoping someone would pick up on that phrasing, that the replaced word was 'force.' As for the website, it was posted on the other WWW board on 4 Oct, so that's when I first saw it. I didn't realize till now that it hadn't been posted here as well. |

As an example of Artie procuring a costume and makeup, especially facial hair, from seemingly out of nowhere, how about Grand Emir? He's out on the road, watching the mansion and waiting for Jim. I think they said they rode over an hour to get there, didn't they? Did he have time to go back to the city to get the sheet and beard and mustache or whatever else he needed for the Arab outfit? Surely he didn't have it in his saddlebags! Oh, I am going to need an Arab disguise tonight, so I'll just pack these...  ;D  Of course, this may fall into the category of both Jim and Artie always having the exact weapon that will be needed at the exact time! |

Since they were guarding an Arab sheik, I suppose there's a dim chance that Uncle Artie might have considered there would be a possibility of needing to disguise himself as an Arab...
Very very very dim chance. On the other hand, he had that marker stuff and the special glasses to view it on him. Who knows how precognitive Artemus Gordon was?

Only thing I can figure is that both guys have "the gift," and they share their insights. "Jim, you're going to need some acid to cut the ropes so-and-so is going to put on you." "Artie, don't forget your Lightnin' McCoy garb. Loveless hasn't told us about him yet, but you're sure to meet him." ;D ;D |

I always enjoy the fact that they always seem to have whatever they need handy. Kind of makes you think they are clairvoyant ;D. Either that or they kept peeking ahead in the script! |

I've seen him with a kit twice for far: Circus of Death while on the train, and Cadre while at the wagon -- two different boxes. Favorite disguises: the Crown Prince, because I want to uh, help him get warm again, Jeremiah P. Threadneedle, who travels in women's corsets, You left out the Cantina Lady! Ross was so obviously having fun with that one. I love the Crown Prince for the way Ross tucks in his tummy when he's speaking with Lady Bea, and then later forgets and relaxes back to normal! Soooooo endearing. And don't use the word "corset" in my presence. I still have the gouges to prove I was wearing one! |
