Yes, Tim Dunigan first played the role of Lieutenant Templeton Peck in the pilot epsiode "Mexican Slayride" but he was fired afterwards Because of his "unimpressive performance" and the fact that he was "too tall and too young" and not A-Team creator Stephen J. Cannell's first choice, Dirk Benedict Was but the Network were not keen on him. According to Tim Dunigan's own account "I look even younger on camera than I'am. So it was difficult to accept me as a veteran of the Vietnam War, which ended when I was a sophomore in high school".
For those of you who are interested Tim Dunigan has a official website, sadly its no longer maintained, but still worth looking at if your fan of his work.
