Mr. T
Biography
Mr. T, born Laurence Tureaud in Chicago, is an American actor and a retired professional wrestler. He was spotted by Sylvester Stallone while competing in NBC's America's Toughest Bouncer contest and was cast as boxer Clubber Lang in Rocky III (1982), the film that introduced his trademark catchphrase. He then starred as B. A. Baracus in the hit 1980s series The A-Team, a major success that made the character a cult figure. He was the top-billed central figure of the feature film D.C. Cab (1983). He later voiced Officer Earl Devereaux in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009). He also entered professional wrestling, partnering with Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania I, and in 2014 entered the WWE Hall of Fame's celebrity wing.
