Mr. T pities the fools who do not believe in
Jesus! Real name Laurence Tureaud, he’s
an iconic figure thanks to his roles as The A-
Team ‘s B.A. Baracus and as Clubber Lang
in Rocky III. The son of a minister raised in
the projects of Chicago, Mr. T served in the
army, worked as a bouncer, and operated as a bodyguard before being spotted by
Sylvester Stallone and offered his role in the third Rocky film.
Baptized as a child at the
age of four, he became born-again in 1977
and credits his good fortune in landing the
part in Rocky III to the generous donations
he made to his church.
Mr. T is one of the most iconic personas in
entertainment history, starring in the hit television show
“The A-Team” and the blockbuster film “Rocky III.”
In addition to his Hollywood career, Mr. T also made many
memorable WWE appearances in the mid-1980s. In 1985, he was part of the main event of the
inaugural WrestleMania ® at Madison Square Garden,
successfully teaming with Hulk Hogan to defeat
“Rowdy” Roddy Piper™ and “Mr. Wonderful” Paul
Orndorff™. In 1986, he defeated “Rowdy” Roddy Piper by disqualification in a special boxing match
at WrestleMania® 2 and also appeared on
NBC’s Saturday Night’s Main Event® program.g
