Yep, the cancer thing and no money is what did it, he had to go away for a while.

Needless to say he is still one of my favorite people on TV. Did you see how crazy he was the frst time he was on Conan? "I'm Millennium T" and wearing that shiny silver shirt and stuff... haha, so funny.

I still collect Mr. T stuff as well. I have a Mr. T clock that sits above my desk, I have the A-Team board game, a mini replica of the van they used that's motorized, and a bunch of other misc. Mr. T stuff. He's great.

you make it sound like it's a bad thing that people want to make money.

The guy had CANCER for god sakes. he's an awesome role model he has gotten involoded with the childerns miracle network, many different childerns charities.

just leave the guy alone. I'm sure he's probably close to broke after having cancer.

My favorite T line of all time:

Announcer: &quot;Clubber, what is your prediction for this fight?&quot;
Mr. T (as Clubber Lang): &quot;Pain!&quot;

My friend picked up a bunch of Mr. T air fresheners when he was in Mexico. I'd kill to have one of those hanging in my office right now.

haha.. yes he did. But not as many. He made a joke refering to the amount of chains he wears directly reflects how much he's getting paid... or something like that

HAHAHAHAHHAHAhahahahahhahHHAHahHAhahaha, that's the funniest thing I've read all day!

thanks!


No problem ;)


Mr T (49 now -- born Laurence Turead)was diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoma of the skin in 1995. He went broke fighting it.

That sucks, glad it's in remission though. He really seems like a nice guy.

My Pity List 2001

Boy Bands-We all know you foo's ain't no good. Quit all that squakin, and get to walkin.

Timothy Mcveigh -blow up a building sucka? yo goin down you skinny foo.

The XFL-come on sucka, I didn't want to watch a bunch of mcdonald's employees play football.

Allen Iverson-Quit yo jibber jabber foo! Before I knock yo scrawny ass out!

That psychic chick from the comercials-Free reedin? How about a free ass whuppin?

MTV-Come on jive turkeys, show some videos before T busts you up.

Planes-Yo foo's ain't gettin me on no plane!

Jerry Spinger-Give it up foo! Yo show ain't no good sucka, we all know its fake.

Kid Rock-Quit all that jibber jabber foo! And don't do drugs!

I acutally saw this guy by Pauley Pavilion. He walked by, trying to be discreet with a fishing hat on. I walked about 10 steps before realizing who he was and screamed &quot;hey, Mr. T&quot;! He put his hand up. Then we ran up to him and stole his 50 lb gold chain. Okay...everything but the last part happened. It was pretty koo.:D

Dude, I have that same Van I think. You hit the little spoiler on the top/back of the van, and like a gun pops out, and these little red covers fall over the tires. It's a great toy.

And Mr. T is awesome, no joke. He's hilarious. The A-Team comes on the TVLAND channel. And he was great every time he was on Conan.

The smart thing to do would be to use Mr T to play BA as they suggest on that page you linked. He still looks good and I think he could pull it off. Then again Hollywood does not have a good track record with these movies from TV series.

WTH brought Mr. T out of hibernation?????

Simple. Corporate America's need to market to GenXers and Mr. T's desparate need of funds.
