George Peppard, Jr. (October 1, 1928 – May 8, 1994) was a popular American film and television actor.

He secured a major role early in his career when he starred alongside Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), but he is probably best known for his role as Col. John "Hannibal" Smith in the 1980s television show The A-Team, where he is the cigar smoking leader of a military team on the run for a crime they did not commit.

Trivia: Peppard was offered the original role of Blake Carrington in the TV series Dynasty (1981) and filmed the pilot episode with Linda Evans and Bo Hopkins. Peppard later turned down the role due to disagreements with writers and the part was subsequently offered to John Forsythe and the scenes with Peppard were reshot.

Famous catch phrase, "I love it when a plan comes together." from the A-team.
