| Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith |
The cigar smoking leader of the A-Team was forever "on the jazz" (meaning he loved the adrenaline of action). He just loved to play it tough and cocky to the biggest bad guy. Like his namesake, Hannibal is a master tactician; but according to his friends, "Hannibal's plans never work like they're supposed to, they just work".
Hannibal was also famed for his "mastery" of disguise. He was the man the Team revolved around and after every successful victory he would utter his infamous catchphrase, "I love it when a plan comes together!".

Famed for his roles in The A-Team and Breakfast At Tiffany's, George Peppard also had numerous other roles. However, he led a troubled life. He was an alcoholic for almost 30 years, finally quitting the drink in 1978. In many ways he had a self-destructive personality; the 30 years of drinking, the lifetime of smoking, and a total of 5 wives. This hard living finally caught up to him and he died in 1994 due to pneumonia and an on-going battle with cancer.
