Nancy Reagan and Mr. T at the White House Cross Hall, Christmas, 1983. It's Mr. T's world -- we just live in it. Born Lawrence Tureaud on this day in 1952, Mr. T is an American original with his trademark mohawk, distinctive snarl, overabundance of jewelry, and sage advice. He was already a bodyguard to the stars when he was discovered by Sly Stallone while competing in The World's Toughest Bouncer competition. A role in "Rocky III" had Mr. T battling and belittling an aging Rocky Balboa. In the end, of course, Rocky defeats Clubber, but Mr. T made his mark on American pop culture. After his bout with Balboa, Mr. T picked himself up off the mat and joined the A-team. His crime fighting persona got him a sit down with Nancy Reagan, but his larger-than-life personality won the hearts of fans. Over the past 25 years, Mr. T has been a comic book character, toured the wrestling circuit, and starred in his own reality TV series. He can even breakdance and sing. We'll stop our jibba-jabba now and enjoy a candy bar on the occassion of Mr. T's birthday. We suggest you do the same. Suggested Sites... I Pity The Fool - sage advice and worldly wisdom from Mr. T.
