Pity The Fool Who Doesn’t Sing Happy Birthday To Mr. T
Monday, May 22nd, 2006
Mr. T does indeed have birthdays and today he turns 49-years old.
Real name Lawrence Tureaud, Mr.T was a bodyguard for 10 years - protecting the likes of Muhammad Ali, Michael Jackson, Lee and Diana Ross. He also took a hand to acting which included his role as a boxer in Rocky III.
But his most memoral public appearance was as Sergeant B.A. (Bosco Albert or “Bad Attitude”) Baracus in the cult series “The A-Team”.
Mr. T quotes:
“I am the best bodyguard, because I’ll take a bullet, I’ll take a stab wound, I’ll take a hit upside the head; I’m like a Kamikaze pilot; The President got shot because his men relaxed.”
“As a kid, I got three meals a day. Oatmeal, miss-a-meal and no meal.”
