Roger Moore as Silky Harris on 'The Alaskans.'
We all know him as the early '70s James Bond, but there was a time when Roger Moore was more than just 007. Back in the late 1950s and into 1960, the future super-spy starred in a lesser-known Western series that took the actor to the farthest reaches of the American frontier: Alaska. That's right, The Alaskans was a short-lived series that ran on ABC for only a year before it was cancelled, and this show had a strangely colorful history when it came to telling its stories.
'The Alaskans' Stole Their Ideas From Other Shows, Like 'Maverick' But according to Roger Moore, there was another reason that The Alaskans could never truly"stand out.""It was the scripts," Moore revealed years later on his website."The writer's strike had led the studios to juggle all sorts of ways. An old Bronco script would interchange with an Alaskans or Maverick. In some cases even the dialogue stayed unchanged.
