Mr T Turns Six-T One Today!
Happy 61st Birthday FOOOL!
That's right folks, it's the A-Team/Rocky legend Laurence Tureaud's big day so we thought we would take the time to show our love for this retro 80s icon we've know and loved for as long as we can remember.
In 1980, Mr. T was spotted by Sylvester Stallone while taking part in NBC's "America's Toughest Bouncer" competition. Although his role in Rocky III was originally intended as just a few lines, Mr. T was eventually cast as Clubber Langwho we all love to hate.
In The A-Team, he played Sergeant Bosco "B.A." Baracus, an ex-Army commando on the run with three other members from the United States government "for a crime they didn't commit." As well as the team's tough guy, B.A. was a genius mechanic but afraid of flying (I ain't gettin on no plaaaine!). When asked at a press conference whether he was as stupid as B.A. Baracus, Mr. T observed quietly, "It takes a smart guy to play dumb."
He has also been a professional wrestler, pop star with his single 'Treat Your Mother Right' and these days is well know for is clip show World's Craziest Fools. Check out his amazing rap track below..
