Decked
Now Lance LeGault will really never catch the A-Team,
having died at the age of 77. Best remembered as Colonel Roderick
Decker, the Wile E. Coyote to the A-Team’s Road Runner, LeGault employed
his voice “4 octaves lower than God’s” to find steady work as a serial
heavy on action shows of the late 1970s and 1980s. He started as a stunt
double for Elvis in Girls! Girls! Girls!, and the King must have taken a
shine, as LeGault scored an uncredited role in that movie, then
returned for Kissin’ Cousins and Viva Las Vegas, played a tambourine in
Elvis’ 1968 comeback special, and led thousands of fans around Graceland
as the voice of the self-guided tour. As Al Halliday on Dallas, LeGault
also sold J.R. a tanker that he needed to fulfill a contract, but that
crashed into a Westar tanker, causing a massive spill,
which Cliff Barnes claimed was solely the responsibility of Ewing Oil
for its unseaworthy tanker despite having evidence that the collision
was simply an accident.
