Mr. T should've been cast in more action movies

[Fedorgasm]

He did a great job in Rocky 3. He was great on the A-Team. And then it was like his career just died.

I think it would've been cool if he was cast as part of Arnold's team in predator. He would've fit in nicely with that squad.

He could've also been one of the chasers in the Running Man. Imagine Mr. T as fireball instead of Jim Brown.

I even think he would've made a great tournament fighter in Bloodsport. They had several Muay Thai and kung fu guys but not a single boxer. He could've played that part.

Ooo and what about James Bond? Those movies have had some iconic characters as henchmen... Jaws, odd-job,... Mr T could've been a deadly eccentric top bodyguard to the main villain.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Should have been WWF Champ

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

Agreed. The 80s was a period full of high testosterone action stars and for someone as iconic as Mr T he was definitely under utilized

I think it would've been cool if he was cast as part of Arnold's team in predator. He would've fit in nicely with that squad.

It would've been great to hear him say "I pity the fool who has to fight us" right before he gets lasered by the Predator

 

[SirRealKiller]

He had basically one tone and character.

Even Arnold had acting chops compared to Mr. T.

 

[Sonny Qc]

No?
He's a terrible actor.

Well the characters in predator basically just had to have muscles and die, so he could've done that without being a great actor.

And I like Jim Brown but Mr. T could've played that part just as well.

I think he would've been really great in a prison movie. Too bad the era of prequels hadn't begun yet or we couldn't gotten a Clubber Lang prequel that showed him learning to box in prison.

 

[Deaths Head]

He’d have a difficult time bc his whole persona was Mr .T and B.A doing sitcom on the A Team ,cartoons ,he’d have a hard time breaking into mainstream movies being casted ,Clubber Lang also became a cult character appearing in Rocky stuff and video games , etc . Even in Wrestlemania he had to do the Mr.T thing in a boxing match .

Would have liked to see him in The Expendables.

 

[tank666]

People forget he was an amazing singer as well.

 

[Sobek]

He did star in some prison movie called Penitentiary 2 (I never saw it).

If I remember my childhood correctly, upon finishing The A Team series he became a church minister or pastor for a while and moved away from films etc for a bit.

 

[Pittie Petey]

He was good in DC Cab

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

too short

 

[GSP_37]

Isn't The Rock basically the same character in all his movies?

Maybe Mr. T had a shitty agent. Ping, Cerrone, Hieron are always in henchman roles everywhere.

I thought Rampage would get more big roles after A-Team.

 

[Plissken]

I think it was because he was too much of an icon to kids to do any r-rated action movies. He had action figures, a cartoon, cereal, etc. He became a role model to kids and he took that seriously.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

I had Mr. T and the T-Force #1 and the trading card that came with it both signed by him.

Sold both together for $50 to buy weed back in college.

Wish I would've kept them

 

[The Clinch]

 

[StonedLemur]

He was good in DC Cab

Underrated comedy right there.
That and Used cars, fuckin all time funny.

Well, if it came at the expense of Billy or Mac, hell no. But I'd be down with replacing Poncho or Hawkins with him.

The A-Team (obviously the extended edition) is one of my guilty pleasures movie. Theatrical cut was trash though

Rampage, Sharlto, Patrick Wilson, Major Dad, Jessica Biel... hell ya.

Should have been WWF Champ

I am surprised WWF didn't try to sign him. I really didn't watch WWF when i was a kid after my teacher told me it was fake, but did he do any WWF? I know he did some No holds barred movie or some shit?
