Dwight and Dirk talk about how they felt when George Peppard died

Dwight and Dirk were asked how they felt when George Peppard died this was their answer.

[@ACMCUK]

i loved all of them when i was a kid. they were all very different characters so it was a perfect combination.

[@ExtremelyClever555]

Me too!

[@jessiehughes9432]

Same!! We'd always quote lines next day on the bus too school, piss off the High School girls that hated the show! 'I love it when a Plan Comes Together' 👍🏻👍🏻😄

[@stipenazorin2096]

George Peppard was the A-Team & the A-Team was George Peppard. I couldn't imagine the role of Hannibal Smith going to any other actor but George, he made it work & I believe he played the major part in the shows continual success, not taking anything away from the others but George was it

[@kcspurs]

i agree. im watching them all again and they all seem to get on so well on screen

[@stipenazorin2096]

kenny c They all jelled well, one of the most successful action/comedy series thanks to them. I use to watch the A-Team which aired before Angela Lansbury Murder She Wrote on the weekdays back in the 1980's

[@AmericaSpeaks1]

Liam Nissen would disagree with you.

[@BT-ir5zl]

That movie they made sure proved it.

[@Maples01]

He is not insulting George at all, he is just saying he got the impression that George was not feeling well during the show and that he felt George was too proud to let them see him toward the end, it would reveal that he was no longer the strong character he wanted to be remembered as.

[@benmayhew2K]

Like all great star's. David Bowie didn't want to let fans know he was drying so kept it quiet n popped his cloggs suddenly.

[@rafiqkie]

yup agree... Mr Peppard the very best actor, he can be anyone he can be..

[@samnasheve]

Best group of women and men put together great times watching a team etc god bless them 🙏all

[@ECO473]

Great stuff! RIP George.

[@drewstar412]

If fans have not seen Peppard's work as Banacek, it's GREAT! I enjoyed him so much and in the A Team, fans are correct in that, he set the tone. Every member needed everyone, but Hannibal got it going. As far as with Mr T, without Murdoch, Mr. T has even a lesser role. Murdoch should have been more of a focus instead of Mr T as the series went on.

[@alexbaker2615]

RIP George!!!

[@robertjessop7433]

George was a great actor, and he was always my favourite hero on the The A-Team, sadly missed, I still will always love The A-Team, I have the box set on DVD to add to my great favourite DVD collections l.

[@airwolfandateam]

Thanks for posting this

[@05kathi_z41]

I am no longer sad, at least not so sad. I was thinking about George Peppard. Then I realized that George Peppard actually had a really good life, he did what he always loved. Actors. Like the other actress in the movie "Breakfast at tiffany's" she died at 64, which means she had a shorter life than George. He was also a handsome man, chamant .... etc. Everyone has to die. Unfortunately, he realized too late that smoking is very unhealthy. I'm proud of George when you see it the way I see it now. He has always played the role of hauo in more than 25 films (I mean, what more do you want) If you look at him from the good side, he was a person I will never forget. But he must have made mistakes in his life too. Smoking started .. George Peppard had a very, very successful life. He had three children and despite his illnesses and current condition, he never gave up his dream. One should take an example from this. Never give up, the other members of the A team also said that you shouldn't be sad your whole life when someone dies. They said that George Peppard actually had a good life and that the time with him in a team was really funny.

[@lindseycarribean5113]

Audrey hepburn come on.

[@Jane_Friday]

I always thought he was that much more energetic in the first 2 or 3 seasons.

[@cgore4]

I've seen this a few times. Someone will be dying or be very sick and people who are close but not family or the best friends, will feel left out. Sometimes it's not personal, the person just only has a few hours at a time they can see people. So they have to prioritize who they see.

[@Tigadee00]

Not that they hated him, but George was from a different generation - established experienced actor - from them, so off-camera they probably didn't mingle as much or were as close as they'd like. Nothing personal, just a generational gap...

[@ANDREW__AA]

loved how cocky hannibal smith was lol

[@Tigadee00]

@grint34 These guys worked togather - successfully - for five years... I don't think they hated him. But Mr T and George did have some friction because Mr T ended being a bigger star than George who was a serious & established movie actor compared to Mr T the wrestler. Mr T even got paid more than George, something George resented. Dirk mentioned in an interview that he & Dwight used to race with George in their nice expensive cars to Malibu, so their relationship must have been friendly.

[@smitty31560]

George was the best actor on there. Even though I loved Mr.T from back in the wrestling days, he was a sorry actor. I know I'll piss a bunch of people off by saying that. But watch him next time, it's like he reads every line.

[@nvd2ceb4]

+Smitty I agree. I always thought Lawrence or Mr. T was the worse one in this show. I could see why Peppard was irritated with this man.

[@superlex611]

+nvd2ceb4 mr t was the star, not peoozr

[@nvd2ceb4]

alex kanyima From watching this as a kid till now Peppard had more camera time than Mr. T which led me to believe he was the star. There was never any indication that Mr. T was the star.

[@Romulan2469]

Mr T became the star of the show due to the massive fan following he got. Specifically he received more fan mail than any other star on the show. Also he didn't have to audition for the role whereas the other actors did. To me, Peppard was a good actor but I have heard some rumors that he didn't get along well with the other cast members.

[@superlex611]

Romulan2469 but why had Peppard didn't get along well with the other cast members ?

[@KmT81]

They were All Great together!But I didn't remember Tim Dunigan played in but was replaced by Dirk because of his young age!

[@matthewhudson7883]

The acoustics in that room were terrible. Turn on "CC" (closed captioning) and see how it's baffled by their dialog.

[@matthewclark7952]

Yes, at the end it displayed ‘animal shit’ instead of Hannibal Smith, no word of a lie!

[@TokyoJoe703]

Where is this from

[@williamlentz5221]

A tham was great sẻies thanks all

[@benmayhew2K]

George Peppard was told he had cancer but would not stop smoking Cigars

[@paulmcnamara4774]

I think its late that is why to stop when your told you have its not going make any difference to your life still going to die that is why he didn't care a less in the end.

[@fabianafortuzzi318]

Poverino 😥

[@MrBRL]

Here is a vid of Mr T saying that Peppard is like a father to him. watch?v=CjDIv_z29FU

[@TBVlogsFAB]

@DwightSchultzFansite ur right. besides, true friends always poke fun of each other

[@slipknot10160]

I hate it when this plan came together :'(

[@KmT81]

The A-Team!Last chance at last moment!Just listen to french intro:L'Agence Tous Risques cest vraiment la derniere chance au dernier moment!

[@ehcmier]

Who the hell are you talking about? No one's making fun of anybody at all? >:(

[@msinvincible2000]

oh, come on, we love Peppard, but he was a pretentious person. He had a very high opinion of himself, ang thought he was the star of the show, when in fact, people loved more the 3 others

[@Sharonvg68]

It sounded very insulting to me. They should've told about the good times they all had together, instead of psychoanalyzing him. Very tacky.

[@kellykinsellives]

George is well known to have been a very mean person. So he is lucky they didn't bash him

[@Michael1966W]

George was a hateful person. I don’t think they insulted him. The only person I ever heard dirk Benedict insult was Al Gore who he can’t stand

[@kendallrivers1119]

You're being too in your feelings. Look, we all know George was no angel, in fact he even told Dwight that himself when they met for the first time, so what are they gonna say? They didn't know him too well outside the set. He reconciled with Mr. T later but before that George stirred up a lot of mess during the show so be happy they kept it professional and didn't dog him out publicly.
