EspañolJACK GING
'Jack Ging' (born November 30, 1931 in Alva, Oklahoma) is an American actor best known for his role as General 'Bull' Fullbright in the ''The A-Team''. His character was – along with a mobster – one of only two characters to die on-screen during the series (although there were a couple of grey area examples, with clever editing, in other episodes). 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.
Previously he had played the arrogant Lt. Ted Quinlan on the adventure / detective series ''Riptide'' from 1984 to 1985, in which he was eventually killed off to free him up to appear in ''The A-Team'' (Ironically, in his final ''Riptide'' episode, he was killed by Carl Franklin, the sidekick of Colonel Decker - Fulbright's predecessor in ''The A-Team'').
Ging had also played Will Coleman in the 1975 adaptation of Where The Red Fern Grows, and appeared sporadically as police contact Lt. Dan Ives on Mannix in the early 70's.
During a TV career that stretched more than 30 years, his appearances ranged from ''The Bionic Woman'' to ''Wiseguy'' and ''B.J. and the Bear'', and ''The Highwayman''. His movie credits include the Clint Eastwood westerns ''Hang 'Em High'', ''Play Misty for Me'', and ''High Plains Drifter''.
Jack Ging made two guest appearances as villains on ''The A-Team'' (in the first season episode "A Small And Deadly War" and the second season's "Bad Time On The Border") before being given the role of General Fullbright, one of the army leaders whose thankless task was to capture The A-Team. In the final episode of ''The A-Team''s fourth season, 'The Sound Of Thunder', the team were forced to fight on the same side as Fullbright whilst on a mission in Vietnam, searching for Fulbright's long lost daughter. Fulbright was captured and tortured by an enemy soldier; the team rescued him, but his was fatally shot during the escape.
