<p>　　This 7-year series chronicled the adventures of the Impossible Mission Taskforce (IMF), a team of government spies and specialists who were assigned &quot;impossible missions&quot; by the unseen &quot;Secretary&quot;. Although the cast varied over the years, the main characters included The Team Leader (Dan Briggs the first season, then Jim Phelps the other six), The Techno-Wizard (Barney Collier), The Strongman (Willy Armitage), The Master of Disguise (first Rollin Hand, then The Amazing Paris), and The Femme Fatale (Cinnamon Carter, Casey, Dana Lambert, Mimi Davis).<br/>　　<br/>　　The series is best known for its opening mission assignment (conducted by a pre-recorded tape), the theme composed by Lalo Schifrin, the leader&#39;s selection of mission agents from a dossier, the opening briefing, the intricate use of disguises and a typical &quot;mask pulloff&quot; scene near the end of most episodes, and the relative lack of characterization of the characters.</p>
