[edit] Plot
In this series, Lee Majors plays Colt Seavers, a Hollywood stunt man who moonlights as a bounty hunter and uses his physical skills and knowledge of stunt effects to capture fugitives and criminals. The series was known for its frequent cameos by Hollywood celebrities and the occasional in-joke referring to Majors' previous series, The Six Million Dollar Man.
[edit] Theme song
The show's theme song, "The Unknown Stuntman", was actually performed by Lee Majors and the lyrics include a reference to his ex-wife, Farrah Fawcett. The song became a minor hit for Majors and is now a minor classic in countries such as Germany, where the show was greeted with high popularity during its initial run.
