One of my favorite TV Series's: The Pretender is an American television series that aired on NBC from 1996 to 2000. The series starred Michael T. Weiss as Jarod, a genius and former child prodigy with "the ability to become anyone he wants to be," i.e., to flawlessly impersonate anyone in virtually any line of work. Patrick Bauchau and Andrea Parker co-starred as Sydney, Jarod's childhood teacher and mentor, and Miss Parker, a childhood friend and an operative for the mysterious organization (called "The Centre") that took Jarod from his parents as a child and forced him to unwittingly use his talents for their own interests. Jarod begins traveling around the country, searching for clues to his true identity and posing as doctors, police officers, attorneys, and various other figures in order to help those in trouble.
"The Chameleon" is the title in french, better than "The Pretender" compared at principal character...

@9876Kalel I agree with you regarding the No Body Cares network!! I did not know, until I viewed the dvd's that there was not a season 5 solely because the network dropped the show without any warning to the writers. I was SO disappointed to learn Jarod never got to be reunited with birth family permanently in the show. Some day I will buy the made-for-tv-movies. I too think differently now. Watching Michael T Weiss be Jarod has inspired me. :)

Fantastic!! Thank You very much for uploading this!! When I need time away from my world I turn to The Pretender. I had purchased some of the seasons, chronologically, on ebay and find it a great "stress / hate the world" release to view them. I need his ocassional reminder "life is a gift". I also now enjoy PEZ, thanks totally to Jarod.
