The Rogues was an American television series that appeared on NBC from September 13, 1964 to April 18,1965 and starred David Niven, Charles Boyer, and Gig Young as a related trio of former conmen who could, for the right price, be persuaded to trick a very wealthy and very unscrupulous mark. The extremely well-acted show won the 1964 Golden Globe award for Best Television Series. Although it is fondly remembered, it did poorly in the ratings and was cancelled after one season. Niven and Boyer were two of the owners of Four Star Television, the show's production company. Although sometimes appearing together, the three leads tended to rotate appearances as their schedules permitted, which meant that Young helmed more shows since he was less busy otherwise than Niven or Boyer; midway through the season Larry Hagman was brought aboard to help fill in for Young, who had been the lead in most episodes. Also lending continuity was the presences of Gladys Cooper and Robert Coote, who appeared as supporting players in most episodes. Guest villains included Walter Matthau, Everett Sloane, George Sanders, and Telly Savalas.
