Jack of All Trades (2000) is an American syndicated action adventure comedy series created by Eric Morris and produced by Renaissance Pictures. Bruce Campbell stars as Jack Stiles, an American spy also known as The Daring Dragoon, who teams up with British agent Emilia Rothschild, played by Angela Marie Dotchin, to frustrate Napoleon's expansion across the East Indies. Captain Brogard (Stephen Papps) and Governor Croque (Stuart Devenie) round out the principal cast as the rivals and authorities who complicate their missions. The series runs two seasons totaling 22 short episodes of roughly 22 minutes each. Its engine is a pair of mismatched agents improvising their way through schemes, disguises, and narrow escapes in a colonial setting. The tone is breezy, playful, and tongue in cheek, with swashbuckling set pieces and quick banter. Fans of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Brisco County, Jr., and The Librarian will find similar appeal in its roguish hero and light period adventure.
