Mr. T Nixed 'A-Team' Movie Plans
--------------------------------
Mr T. turned down a cameo in a proposed big-screen version
of 1980s TV show The A-Team because he refused to star
alongside another actor playing his signature role of B,A.
Baracus. The actor - real name Laurence Tureaud - no longer
has to worry, as the film doesn't appear to be being made.
He says, "There was supposed to be an 'A-Team' movie, but
none of us guys would have been in it. The producers told
me, 'We'd like you to be in a cameo,' and I said, 'You talk
like a fool. Either I'm BA Baracus or nobody.' And I
quickly quashed it."
George Peppard, who played Colonel Hannibal Smith in the
TV classic, died in 1994.
YIPPEE!!
Hopefully this is only the first in a massive long line of planned
silly "remake" / "update" movies of old shows that gets cancelled!
Just like a domino display, when one falls they all fall. :-)
