| - While Briggs had his choice of many different agents for his missions, he usually picked a specific group consisting of actor and theater-arts teacher Rollin Hand, fashion model and actress Cinnamon Carter, electronics company president and electronic engineer Barnard "Barney" Collier, and bodybuilder, heavy laborer and mechanical engineer William "Willy" Armitage. It was this team, the IMF's all-time most successful(especially after James Phelps became IMF Director), that pioneered the employment of grand-scale confidence games as the IMF's chief method of accomplishing missions.

| - While Briggs had his choice of many different agents for his missions, he usually picked a specific group consisting of actor and theater-arts teacher Rollin Hand, fashion model and actress Cinnamon Carter, electronics company president and electronic engineer Barnard "Barney" Collier, and bodybuilder, heavy laborer and mechanical engineer William "Willy" Armitage. It was this team, the IMF's all-time most successful(especially after James Phelps became IMF Director), that pioneered the employment of grand-scale confidence games as the IMF's chief method of accomplishing missions. His primary role was as the mastermind behind the operation, but when a job required it he could act as a supporting character. The exact fate of Dan Briggs is a mystery. Presumably, whatever caused him to take his original leave from the team drove him back into inactivity as well, turning the leadership of the IMF over to Jim Phelps, who was, perhaps, in charge of the IMF during Briggs's initial absence as well. Actor Steven Hill lost his role as Briggs partially because his Orthodox Judaism conflicted with the shooting schedules. He subsequently went on to act out the role of New York County District Attorney Adam Schiff in Law & Order.
