Christopher Plummer--CounterStrike

In few obits honoring the late, great Christopher Plummer, there are few mentions of his 1990-1993 Canadian/ French produced USA television series, Counterstrike.

In the series opener, after his wife is killed in a terrorist operation, international industrialist Alexander Addington (Plummer) assembled a private team of troubleshooters to help combat terrorism around the world. Headed by Peter Sinclair (Simon MacCorkindale), for 66 episodes, the team usually included one female French operative and one male American agent traveling together in a private jet connected to Addington via an internet link. The show could be considered something of a private enterprise version of the IMF from Mission: Impossible.

During its three-season run, the show was nominated for various Gemini awards including a 1992 nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Continuing Leading Dramatic Role for Christopher Plummer.

The title sequence for each episode included Plummer doing a dramatic reading of the show's motto: "We must fight evil, no matter where, no matter when, no matter what the cost":
