   LOS ANGELES— Gene Barry, who played the well-dressed man of action in the television series ``Bat Masterson,'' ``Burke's Law'' and ``The Name of the Game,'' has died. He was 90.
   Barry's son, Fredric James Barry, said the actor died of unknown causes Wednesday at a rest home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Woodland Hills.
   Barry essentially played the same character in all three series: a fashionably dressed hero who bested the bad guys with either cunning or force. The series spanned from the 1950s to the 1970s.
   Barry sang in such musicals as ``Kismet'' and ``Destry Rides Again'' and created the Broadway role of Georges, the gay night club owner in Jerry Herman's hit musical ``La Cage aux Folles.''
