Characters, etc.

First Show Appearance: To Mock a Killing Bird Played by: Mike Cunliffe Sir Dalton Pierce is a 40 year veteran of the Cold War. Despite years of loyal service for Queen and Country, he was discharged from the British Secret Service due to budget cuts. Pierce has written an autobiography highlighting his days as a secret agent (replete with tales of the madmen he stopped, the doomsday weapons he disarmed, and the ladies he shagged along the way). He is now shopping his autobiography around in the hopes of getting a movie deal (or at least a guest spot on Letterman), and is desperate to get his second career off the ground since blowing his entire 401k at the craps tables in Monaco while celebrating his retirement.
