Minor Characters
The A-Team - Col. Decker

Full name: Roderick Decker

Rank: Sergeant

Actor: Lance LeGault

Lowdown: Colonel Decker was The A-Team's nemesis from season two to season four. Fuelled by an enormous dislike of the team, particularly Hannibal, and armed with infinitely more cunning than his predecessor, Colonel Lynch, Decker relentlessly chased the A-Team, and even succeeded in catching them once or twice. However, catching them is one thing - keeping them there is another, and for all his cunning, Decker's one fatal flaw was his tendancy to underestimate the A-Team's resourcefulness. As a result, like Colonel Lynch, failure was inevitable.

The A-Team - Col. Lynch

Full name: Lynch

Actor: William Lucking

Rank: Colonel

Lowdown: Colonel Lynch appeared first in the pilot episode 'Mexican Slayride' as the first in a long line of military officials trying to get The A-Team behind bars, although it became clear from the beginning that he didn't have what it took to best such a well-oiled machine as the team.
Unfortunately for Lynch, he was the commander of the Fort Bragg maximum security stockade when the A-Team first escaped in 1972 and has made finding The A-Team his personal vendetta, although he was later removed from the case. His last appearence was in the episode "Showdown".

The A-Team - Fulbright

Full name: Harlan "Bull" Fulbright

Rank: General

Actor: Jack Ging

Lowdown: General Fulbright was The A-Team's final pursuer, right up to the end of series four. In his last appearance ("The Sound of Thunder"), Fulbright sided with the team by enlisting them to help him find his daughter in Vietnam. Sadly, Fulbright was killed on this mission, but his daughter returned to America with the A-Team.

The A-Team - General Hunt Stockwell

Full name: Hunt Stockwell

Rank: General

Actor: Robert Vaughn

Lowdown: General Stockwell first appeared in the fifth season which saw the A-Team imprisoned and facing a death sentence. Although it is likely that Stockwell was responsible for their imprisonment, he also helped them to escape the firing squad, under the condition that they work for him and his hush-hush government organisation. In order to gain full pardons, the A-Team were sent on what were effectively suicide missions, with Stockwell forever breathing down their necks. Some fans see this as a rather sad situation for a team that were always so independent.

The A-Team - Frankie

Full name: Frankie "Dishpan" Santana

Occupation: Special effects engineer

Actor: Eddie Velez

Lowdown: Frankie arrived at the beginning of the fifth season, and became a member of the team (as well as an outlaw) after helping them to escape the death squad, as ordered by Stockwell. His skills as a special effects engineer became invaluable to the team's missions. Frankie appeared in every episode of the fifth season, but still never felt like a true member of the team, despite participating in all missions.

The A-Team - Tawnia
Full name: Tawnia Baker

Occupation: Journalist

Actress: Marla Heasley

Lowdown: Tawnia Baker was introduced midway through the second season as Amy Allen's friend and fellow journalist. She succeeded in whining her way into some of the A-Team's missions, but never actually became part of the team. (Most fans were pretty pleased about that). Tawnia left at the beginning of season three in "The Bend in the River" when she married archaeologist Brian Leftcourt. There was much rejoicing...
