High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Lieutenant Templeton Arthur Peck is the alias of a character in the action/adventure television series The A-Team played by Dirk Benedict. A recognized war hero, he is often referred to as "(The) Faceman" or simply "Face". Although creators Stephen J. Cannell and Frank Lupo had Benedict in mind for the role, studio executives initially insisted that the role be handled differently; Tim Dunigan played the role in the pilot episode, but after it was completed, he was thought by the same executives to look too young to be a believable Vietnam veteran, and he was much taller than the rest of the cast, particularly show`s muscle man Mr. T. He was replaced by Benedict for the rest of the show`s run. Bradley Cooper portrayed the character in the 2010 film, while Benedict appeared in a post-credits cameo.
