THEN: DIRK BENEDICT Actor Tim Dunigan played Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck in the pilot episode of "The A-Team," but when it was decided he looked too young to play a Vietnam vet, he was replaced by Dirk Benedict. The show was his second hit after playing the brash Starbuck on "Battlestar Galactica," but that series only lasted a season. Benedict was vocal in his dislike for the new version of "Galactica," particularly how the show recast his character with a female actress. Benedict filmed a cameo appearance in the "A-Team" movie, but later expressed regrets that he did. He said in an interview, "You'll miss me if you blink... it's a non-part." less
