The Human Target, (1992)

A TV pilot, starring former pop star Rick Springfield as Christopher Chance, (The Human Target) a Vietnam vet and P.I/bodyguard, was produced in 1990, but it, and seven subsequent episodes were only aired in 1992 as a TV summer replacement series. For ten percent of a client's annual income ("whether you're a busboy or the king of England"), Chance would take the client's place and protect his or her life. Philo Marsden was an eccentric computer genius who helped Chance by designing high-tech masks, and Jeff Carlyle was the chauffeur, cook and pilot for Chance's mobile base of operations, the Blackwing (designed by Mike "The Shadow" Kaluta). Lilly Page was an ex-CIA agent who helped coordinate Chance's missions. Unfortunately, the show was put up against the Olympics! Andy Mangels, in his Hollywood Heroes column, which ran in Wizard and Amazing Heroes, wrote ""Fans are urged to watch the enjoyable espionage show now, because it will likely never be back on the air!."

The Human Target (2009) It takes a brave, selfless man to make himself a "human target" in order to save the lives of those in danger. Based on the popular DC Comics comic book and graphic novel, HUMAN TARGET is a full-throttle action drama centered on CHRISTOPHER CHANCE (Mark Valley, FRINGE), a unique private contractor/security guard hired to protect. Call him what you like, because for Chance, it's about one thing only: saving his clients lives. When there is an unusual or imminent threat that can't be solved through "normal"� means of protection, Chance is hired to completely integrate himself into his clients lives to become the human target. If you're a corporate manager whose disgruntled employee has gone violently off the deep end, Chance is your new auditor. If you're the president of a bank who's been tipped off to a potential heist, Chance is your unassuming bank teller. During each job, Chance, assisted by his business partner WINSTON (Chi McBride, "Pushing Daisies"�) and hired gun GUERRERO (Jackie Earle Haley, "Watchmen"�), puts himself directly in the line of fire as he races against time to save his client, while unraveling the truth behind the mission. With every new danger, Chance's dark history will also unravel. Does anyone know who Christopher Chance really is, or what secrets lay buried in his past? What would make a man willingly become a HUMAN TARGET? HUMAN TARGET is a production of Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Wonderland Sound and Vision, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Television. Jon Steinberg ("Jericho"�), McG ("Terminator Salvation"�), Simon West ("Con Air,"� "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider"�) and Brad Kern ("Charmed"�) serve as executive producers.
