Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith
The cigar chomping leader of the A-Team was forever "on the
jazz" (meaning he loved the adrenaline of action). He just loved
to play it tough and cocky to the biggest bad guy. Named after the
Carthaginian general who almost destroyed the Roman Empire 2200 years
ago. Like his namesake, Hannibal is a master tactician, but his plans
never quite turned out as they were supposed to. According to Amy
Allen, "Hannibal's plans never work like they're supposed to,
they just work".
Hannibal was also famed for his "mastery" of disguise - usually involving
a wig and a pair of false teeth, that any person with some semblance of vision
could have seen through. Nethertheless he was man the Team revolved around and
after every successful victory he would utter his infamous catchphrase, "I
just love it when a plan comes together!".
