Who played better Faceman? Tim or Dirk

Dirk Benedict was born to play Faceman. The other did an ok job.

You have to ask? Farce was lame.

I don't think the guy who played Face in the pilot was bad.

As said, one actor has one epiosde, the other had more than 90 episodes. People are always going to be more used to one over the other.

But if you watch the pilot, and tried to forget that Dirk ever played him, it's still a decent performance by the original actor.

Tim Dunigan as Templeton Peck
The A-Team
Dwight Schultz (Murdock) has often told the story about how he was certain he was going to be fired from The A-Team. It was Tim Dunigan who kept reassuring him throughout filming the pilot that his job was safe and he was going to be fine. Ironically, it was Dunigan who was replaced by Dirk Benedict, when producers decided he looked too young for the role of a Vietnam vet.

Would it have worked?
Not this time. In the pilot Dunigan assumes a number of roles as the team’s resident con man, from a priest to a millionaire cowboy. And it just doesn’t resonate. This was material that had to be played with a wink, but his scenes with the rest of the team lacked the camaraderie that sustained The A-Team through years of repetitive scripts. According to IMDB he quit acting and now works as a mortgage broker.

Dirk Dirk Dirk Dirk..... As I watch the A-Team over and over again I realize Faceman was really the number #2 member to count on.. Dirk played him to perfection after George Peppard playing Col.Hannibal SMITH . George was so amazing and perfect as Col.Hannibal Smith . I really feel all actors and the writing was correct.

Dirk! Tim who?

Maybe it was because I didn't remember the episodes in order as a kid and when I was older, I watched them out of order (where were you in the 90s Netflix?) but Dirk was far superior as Face. I don't think Tim Dunigan would have ever fit that role, even if he'd had years.
