MINI BIO:

Fair-haired, blue-eyes, hard-headed American actor who looked to be a real find in the early sixties but proved disappointing in the leading roles of several big films (perhaps the wrong kind?) and was shunted into routine action thrillers and westerns. Found belated popularity as leader of TV's The A-Team. Married (divorced, remarried, and divorced) to Elizabeth Ashley from 1966 to 1972. He married his fifth wife in 1992. Died from pneumonia.

George Peppard Facts
Was originally cast as Blake Carrington on "Dynasty" (1981). During the shooting of the pilot episode, he reportedly clashed with the producers over the characterization of Blake Carrington. Peppard argued that the character was too similar to J.R. Ewing of "Dallas" (1978). Peppard was fired after three weeks of shooting. The role was recast with John Forsythe and all the scenes with Peppard were re-shot.

Told the media how relieved he was shortly after "The A-Team" (1983) ended in 1986 because he likened the mega-hit show to "an out-of-control freight train that would never stop!"

He was the original choice for Steve McQueen's role in The Magnificent Seven (1960).
