Dirk Benedict's (Original Face) Cameo


I am watching The A team on HBO and haven't been able to find Dirk Benedict's cameo. Did they cut it from the movie after he complained to the press that the movie was horrible and he regretted doing the cameo? Or am I just missing it? I thought he appeared in the scene with Bradley Cooper in prison right before Face escaped. I remember the original Face getting out of the tanning bed and saying something about his "Face" to Bradley Cooper or something like that. But as I am watching it now it seems as thought this scene is gone. Help, anyone else notice this?

Yes...the dvd had that scene but the cable version appears to be gone as well as when Face is let out of the tanning booth by Hannibal...Face goes off on him and tells him he only had so much time left on his sentence...that bit was cut too...

in the unrated version- the "face" cameo appears before Face escapes.

In the theatrical version, the cameo is the same scene, but it does not appear until after the credits have rolled.

Cable may be playing the theatrical cut of the film.


Also a the theatrical cut has a funny cameo from the original murdock

Watching the cable one right now, it's still in there!

I watched it on tv in the UK. Benedict appears during the film.

Its that man again!!

He was the doctor watching Murdock during his electro shock therapy, in one version he says 'this guy Murdock's insane, I wonder if he's *flicks tongue* crazy or *looks up* crazy', and in another he's asking 'have you increased the voltage?' when they couldn't get a reading on him.

You're confusing the two actors and characters. Benedict played Face in the show, and therefor in the movie did the cameo with Face. Schultz played Murdoch in the show and played a doctor in the movie, with Murdock.


As for the cameo locations...

In the theatrical release, the two cameos are during the credits.
In the director's cut, those scenes are incorporated into the movie.

Both versions have been shown on cable.

reply

Both cameos were placed after the end credits rolled.

Thanks for sending me to that scene. I have 'The A Team - extended cut' on amazon instant video. I enjoy the movie a lot. I didn't know who that guy was that comes out of the tanning pod - when Bradley Cooper is on his way in! Now I know!

reply

It bugs me that you have to watch the extended version to see all the parts that make the movie. The theatrical version is why there's no sequel.
