Wig, Dress, Accent: Difference between revisions

* In Disney's ''[[Condorman]]'', this is used twice. First, after [[The Hero]] Woody and [[Defector From Commie Land]] Natalia have been arrested by local cops, his [[Sidekick]] Harry shows up in a trenchcoat, fake glasses and moustache, and a truly absurd accent to spring them. Second, after {{spoiler|Natalia gets captured by the [[Big Bad]]}}, Woody and Harry together don [[Arab Oil Sheikh]] disguises to infiltrate the palace and pull off a rescue.

* ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]''. Indy, swapping hats with Elsa, poses as a Scottish art collector to trick his way into Castle Brunwald.

* Artemus Gordon from ''[[The Wild Wild West (TV series)|The Wild Wild West]]'' wore a disguise in almost every episode. Generally, his disguises consisted of a wig, a new outfit (occasionally a dress), some makeup or facial hair, and an accent. Since Ross Martin could speak several languages, he also sometimes spoke the language of the character he was portraying.

* In [[iCarly]], the main character's brother Spencer tends to do this a lot. In fact, he does it so much that one episode, he insists that he be the one who dresses up as a woman and, when the main characters agree, exclaims

* In ''[[Star Trek]]'', the wife of [[Gene Roddenberry]], Majel Barret, was in the first pilot episode as the female first officer. When that character was [[Executive Meddling|discarded]] for the actual show, she bleached her hair blonde and cut it short. It was specifically an attempt to get back in the show without the executives catching on. Even her husband didn't recognize her at first. She was recast in the smaller role of Nurse Chapel.

* [[Stephen Colbert]] waxed his chest, put on a wig and posed for [[media:raven.jpg|this]] photo as Raven, the stripper from ''[[Wigfield]]'', who he voices on the audiobook.
