Soldier of Fortune, Inc. was a television show created by Dan Gordon which ran for two seasons, from 1997–1999. The show followed an elite team who performed "unofficial" missions for the US Government. During the first season, the show dealt with terrorists and drug lords, and often tackled issues such as patriotism and self-sacrifice. The theme song was performed by Trevor Rabin. During the second season, a voiceover by Peter Graves was added. For the second season, the show was renamed SOF: Special Ops Force. Andrews and Sheppard left the show. Dennis Rodman and David Eigenberg replaced them, though their "hip" characters and new plots led many to abandon the show, leading to its cancellation.
