Mr. T Endorses ‘Rampage’ in ‘A-Team’ Remake

I tried. I really did. When news of Quinton Jackson’s casting in the “A-Team” remake spread earlier in the fall, I attempted to reach out to original B.A. Baracus, Mr. T, for comment. (These are the things that get written down on my Post-its: “Call Mr. T.”)

Unfortunately, T’s listed management no longer represented him and didn’t know who did. Life went on. Now Fanhouse’s Ariel Hawani has blogged that he ran into T in Chicago over the weekend. Sickening.

Strangely, T came off as reflective and reserved. "I have much love for him," he said of Jackson. "I do. It's going to become a pressure thing because people are going to come up to him and say, 'Hey, you're not Mr. T.' They are going to try to get in his head just to meddle with him…I like his style, his toughness. He'll bring his own unique personality to that role.”

Good for Jackson, but he’d probably be better off with Dana White’s blessing than T’s. At any rate, onto Carl Weathers.
