Jack of All Trades
From Free net encyclopedia
Current revision
Jack of All Trades was a half-hour long action/comedy television series which ran for two seasons in 2000. With Cleopatra 2525, it formed the 'Back2Back Action Hour' and both shows were notable for being the first American non-animated action series to be produced in the half-hour format in a number of years.
The leading role of Jack Stiles gave Bruce Campbell an opportunity to display his ability to pull off any one-liner.
The program is set at the turn of the 19th Century on the French-controlled island of Palau-Palau. Jack Stiles is an American secret agent sent by President Jefferson. While there he meets his British contact Emilia Rothschild. Together the two work to stop Napoleon and various other threats to the United States. To the public Jack is seen as Emilia's man-servant, but when the need arises he transforms into the masked hero the Daring Dragoon.
