Created by Stephen J Cannell, the A-Team starred George Peppard as John "Hannibal" Smith, Mr T as B.A. Baracus, Dirk Benedict as Templeton "Faceman" Peck and Dwight Schultz as "Howlin' Mad" Murdock. During season one and part of season two, the team were assisted by Melinda Culea as reporter Amy Allen. She was replaced by Marla Heasley who appeared as reporter Tawnia Baker during the later stages of season two but she too was written out during a two-part episode at the beginning of season three.
During the run of the show, the team were pursued by the military police, initially by William Lucking as Colonel Lynch and then more famously by Lance LeGault as Colonel Decker. Jack Ging took over the pursuit as General Fulbright towards the end of season four.
For its fifth and final season, the show underwent a radical overhaul in which the team went to work undercover for General Stockwell, played by Robert Vaughan. They were assisted by a new addition to the team, special effects man Frankie Santana played by Eddie Velez.
