Watched an episode of the A-Team last weekend...yep I was pretty curious since Boy George was announced to be co-starring. Actually, it was the first episode I really enjoyed watching - never was fond of the A-Team series.

But...it wasnīt the real Boy George, huh? I mean, apart from all tracks were playback...I was never a big fan of George Dowd (thatīs his real name, right?) but Iīm almost sure that it was a lookalike acting. His band looked also pretty much like the real one (as far as I can remember them).

Actually, Wavey, that was the real and true George O'Dowd appearing as himself in that classic of 80s dodginess episode of the A Team. Hard to believe that would be the show for Boy to make his acting debut in, but, apparently, it was one of his favorite shows at the time!!! :lol:

Thanks for the fast response, Michael.

I could have sworn that it wasnīt Boy George...never thought that he liked the A-team.
Actually, I liked his late-80s stuff (e.g. 'No Clause 28') much better, though it wasnīt that successful as his other 80s hits.

Boy...I only hope that the original version was better than the German translation...his synchro voice was pretty awful. ;) Nonetheless, the story line was quite amusing.
