Lee Majors plays Colt Seavers,a Hollywood stunt man who moonlights as a bounty hunter. He drives a big GMC truck with an eagle painted on its hood. He chases after bad guys and returns them to the Los Angeles area. He uses his physical skills and knowledge of stunt effects (especially stunts involving cars or his large GMC pickup truck) to capture fugitives and criminals. He is accompanied by his cousin and stuntman-in-training Howie Munson (Barr), who studied in Nashville—whom Colt frequently calls "Kid", and occasionally by fellow stuntwoman Jody Banks (Thomas). Though often they follow him, sometimes they are left on their own. The Fall Guy is an American action/adventure television series produced for ABC and originally broadcast from November 4, 1981, to May 2, 1986. It starred Lee Majors, Douglas Barr, and Heather Thomas as Hollywood stunt performers who moonlight as bounty hunters.
