Col. John "Hannibal" Smith
George Peppard

Character Description: Hannibal was the leader of the A-Team and a professional soldier. Hannibal was almost constantly "on the jazz", which meant he was an adrenaline junkie, not happy unless someone was trying to kill him. He also liked to dress up in disguises which you'd think any reasonably intelligent person could see through. He apparently developed this dubious skill while pursuing his avocation as an actor specializing in heavily costumed monsters, notably the Aquamaniac.
Hannibal's True Love - Making smart-ass remarks to the head bad guy.

Actor Summary: George Peppard was born October 1st 1928 in Detroit Michigan. He started his film career in the late 1950s. His breakout hit was Breakfast at Tiffany's with Audrey Hepburn. His film career continued to go well throughout the sixties. In the seventies he entered the realm of television, starring as the ultra-cool Polish-American detective, Banacek. Struggling with a drinking problem he walked off that show, but returned to the small screen in the early eighties, in The A-Team. In the early ninties he did some stage work, but died of pneumonia May 8th 1994.

[Mr. T] Sgt. Bosco "B.A." Baracus
Mr. T

Character Description: B.A. Baracus was a big angry mudsucker with a heart of gold. B.A. was the mechanical and electronic expert for the team. He also tossed around bad guys a lot better than the rest of the team and occasionally came through doors without opening them first. At heart he was a big teddy bear, devoting his off hours to helping children. B.A. was very bad at disguises since he refused to change his trademark hairstyle or lose the fifty gold chains around his neck.
B.A.'s true love - The Van

Actor Summary:
Mr. T was born in Chicago, May 21st 1952, the second to youngest in a very large family. Eventually he became a professional bodyguard, which led into his being cast in Rocky III which in turn led to his role on The A-Team and professional wrestling as tag team partner with Hulk Hogan. Diagnosed with cancer in 1995, Mr. T now spends time visiting hospitals and helping others dealing with the disease.

[Dirk Benedict] Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck
Dirk Benedict

Character Description: Face was a con man nicknamed for his good looks. Face was in charge of supplies, acquiring whatever the team needed for their various missions. An orphan (more or less) he was nevertheless cursed with good taste, in clothes, food, cars and women (more or less). Any A-Team mission usually led to his clothes being ruined, his car being wrecked, his romantic interludes interrupted, and burgers, if there was any food at all. Face would whine about all these things, but mostly about being the one who most regularly got beat up.
Face's true love - Christine on Night Court

Actor Summary: Dirk, born in Montana, March 1st 1945, started his career on stage. In the early seventies he moved to Los Angeles and won some movie roles, including the part of a guy turning into a snake in "Ssssss" and briefly the lead in a TV series, Chopper One. He hit celebrity status in 1978 when he took on the role of "Starbuck", in Battlestar Galactica. Though still popular, even now, it was cancelled after one season. A few years later he was cast as "Face", on The A-Team. After the series ended he had a number of other movie roles. To find out more about Dirk Benedict just visit his web site and pick up his two volume, going on three, autobiography.

[Dwight Schultz] Capt. H.M. "Howlin' Mad" Murdock
Dwight Schultz

Character Description: Though some people would have you believe that Murdock is a crazy fool, he's not insane... not really. He is the pilot for the A-Team and is able to fly anything with wings or blades. Unlike the rest of the team he is not wanted by the Government. He has a vivid imagination, a talent for mimicry, and a stunning knowledge of Television, Movies and Music. Please refer to The Episode Guide for more on this character.
