Fulbright was the last MP to pursue the A-Team taking over from Colonel Decker in the fourth season episode "Mind Games" (4-09, 26th Nov 1985) and was possibly one of the most disliked A-Team pursuers with a strong belief that He would succeed where others had failed in getting The A-Team locked up and behind bars perhaps this had somthing to do with his friendship
with Col. Steve Morrison, the Team's commanding officer in Vietnam who order them to steal the hundred million yen from the
Bank of Hanoi but was killed in one of the last shellings. | |
In his and the season final episode "The Sound Of Thunder" (4-23, 13th May 1986) Fulbright uses the needy girl-trick once too often, and is captured by the team, but for once he was looking for them as a prospective client, claiming that he wants them to go to Vietnam and free a POW colonel, a personal friend they presumed killed in action, who might be able to prove the
A-Team's innocent. Once there, he comes clean and that he hed recently learn't he has a half-Vietnamese daughter (Tia Carrere) and wants the A-Team to help bring her home.
After the rescue Fulbright was convinced and admitted to The A-Team that they were wrongly accused and shouldn’t be fugitives as they were willing to help him at any cost despite their being criminals on the run from him. Unfortunately He was shot during the rescue of his daughter and died.

He first guest starred as "Captain Stark" in the first season episode "A Small and Deadly War", making a second appearance as Border Patrol Lt. Taggart in "Bad Time on the Border" (2-04, 18th Oct 1983). later joining the show with his regular role as "General Harlan "Bull" Fulbright" in the fourth season episode "Mind Games" (4-09, 26th Nov 1985).
Ging was brought in to try and ease things on set, where stars George Peppard and Mr. T often didn't get along; Ging having worked with Peppard previously.
Contrary to popular belief, General Fullbright who gets shot and killed in the episode "The Sound of Thunder" (4-23, 13th May 1986) WAS NOT the first and only character to get shot or die during the show's run. | |
